Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified owing to recent taxonomic splits.
Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated. Tree cover loss within the range is very low (1% over three generations; Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Even though the species prefers the interior of forests while being less frequent in edge and secondary growth, and may moreover be subject to trapping pressure (Collar et al. 2020), population declines are likely equally low and localised; they are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over ten years.
