Population justification: The global population size of this species has not been quantified, but c.75,000 km² of forest remains in its range (per Global Forest Watch 2022). Even accounting for descriptions of its abundance as local or rare (del Hoyo et al. 2005, Eaton et al. 2021), the population size is therefore unlikely to be especially small, even if only a portion of forest in its range is occupied.

Trend justification: This species is dependent on lowland, good-quality forest (Eaton et al. 2021, J. Eaton in litt. 2022). In the three generations (12.6 years; Bird et al. 2020) to 2021, forest extent (of >50% cover) was reduced in this species' range by 14-16% (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). These data do not account for habitat degradation, nor for the fact that this species most likely occurs at higher densities at the lowest elevations of good forest. Consequently, the rate of forest cover loss is thought to represent the minimum possible rate of population reduction. In the past three generations, it is therefore suspected of having declined by 15-25%. There is little indication this rate will slow in the future, with rates of forest cover loss between 2016 and 2021 showing a moderate acceleration, and projections by Voigt et al. (2021) indicating that forests favoured by this species are most at risk. The same rate of population reduction is therefore suspected to occur over the next three generations.
