Population justification: The population size is preliminarily suspected to fall into the band 10,000-19,999 individuals. This equates to 6,667-13,333 mature individuals, rounded here to 6,000-15,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: A rapid and ongoing population decline is suspected to be occurring, consistent with rates of deforestation throughout the species's range, equivalent to c.25% over ten years (Global Forest Watch 2021). Because of this species preference for dense forest understorey (Allen 2020) it is likely to be severely impacted by degradation and fragmentation, such that declines of over 30% are suspected.
