Population justification: The global population is suspected to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019); thus it is here placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals. The species is described as 'uncommon and patchily distributed' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Trend justification: The species does not appear threatened, as it occurs in a variety of forested and open habitats (Jaramillo 2020). Therefore, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is assessed as being stable.
