Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as uncommon, but locally frequent and numerous (Stotz et al. 1996, Collar et al. 2020).

Trend justification: The species is restricted to primary forest, and is therefore threatened by the loss and degradation of its habitat. Forests within the range are currently largely intact (Collar et al. 2020). Tree cover loss within the range was 3% over the past three generations (12.8 years), but has been increasing to a rate equivalent to 5% over three generations since 2016 (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Trapping pressure is considered minimal (Collar et al. 2020); therefore, population declines are unlikely to exceed 10% over three generations. The rate of decline may however increase in the future, should the rate of tree cover loss continue to accelerate.
