Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as rare, uncommon and local (Schulenberg et al. 2007, Freile and Restall 2018).

Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated, but the only known threat to the species is the loss and degradation of its habitat. While deforestation in the range was certainly prevalent in the past (Stattersfield et al. 1998), the rate of tree cover loss has been negligible over the past ten years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Moreover, its preference for knife-edge ridges likely contributes to protecting it from habitat destruction (C. Witt in litt. 2012). Consequently, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.
