Justification of Red List category
This species has a very large range, and hence does not 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 'uncommon and patchily distributed' (Stotz et al. 1996, see also eBird 2023).

Trend justification
The population trend has not been quantified, but the species' preference for edge, open and scrub habitat likely protects it from impacts of ongoing deforestation in its range (per Tobias et al. 2020, Global Forest Watch 2023). Therefore, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is tentatively suspected to be stable.

The species occurs from central and northeast Colombia to northwest Venezuela.

The species inhabits forest edge, open woodland, scrubland, clearings as well as savanna habitats (Tobias et al. 2020).

Conservation Actions Underway
No targeted actions are known.

Conservation Actions Proposed
Quantify the population size. Monitor the population trend.
