Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as uncommon to rare due to its high crypticity (del Hoyo et al. 1997).

Trend justification: There are no data on population trends, although the species is suspected to be declining because of habitat degradation and potential levels of trapping. It has howeverbeen detected at edge and logged habitats, suggesting some level of tolerance to habitat degradation (per T. Martin, J. Monkhouse, and D. O'Connell in litt. 2020). It also occurs in remote, montane forests (Berryman & Eaton 2020) that are relatively secure from deforestation and hunting. Therefore, it is unlikely rates of decline will exceed 20% in three generations (11.3 years).
