Justification of Red List category
Although this species may have a small range, it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km² combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as common (Stotz et al. 1996, Kirwan et al. 2019, Rising 2020).

Trend justification

The population trend has not been investigated, but the potential threat to the species is the logging and fragmentation of forests within the range. Tree cover loss within the range is very low (3% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2023, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Apart from forests, the species is also found in plantations and along forest edge (Kirwan et al. 2019, Rising 2020); consequently, the current rate of tree cover loss may not be affecting the population. Therefore, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.

The species is endemic to Jamaica.

It inhabits humid forests, forest edge and shaded coffee plantations (Kirwan et al. 2019, Rising 2020).

The only potential threat to this species is the loss and fragmentation of forests within the range. However, tree cover loss is currently very low and unlikely to be driving any population declines.
