Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as uncommon (Allen 2020).

Trend justification: Forest cover loss in this species' range over the past 10 years has been approximately 15% (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). As a forest-dependent species, this is the absolute minimum suspected population reduction. In addition, degradation and fragmentation is suspected to have driven further reduction, though this is unquantified. The population is therefore suspected to have declined by 15-25% over the last ten years with a precautionary best guess of a reduction of 20-25%. Forest cover loss over the past five years has accelerated to an average of approximately 1.9-2.0% per year. Forest loss over the next 10 years is therefore suspected to be at least 19-20%. The population is therefore suspected to decline by 20-29% over the next 10 years when degradation and fragmentation are taken into account.
