Population justification: Based on the small numbers recorded everywhere, and the small size of most islands with recent records (except Santo), the total population size is estimated to fall within the band 1,000-2,499 mature individuals. This equates to 1,500-3,749 individuals in total, rounded here to 1,500-4,000 individuals.

Trend justification: There are no data, however it is suspected to be declining, primarily due to deforestation.
