Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as scarce or very uncommon within its very small range (Clement 1999).

Trend justification: Forests within the range of the species are not thought to be under imminent threat. Recent fores loss estimates remain low at <5% (Tracewski et al. 2016, Global Forest Watch 2020) over a 3-generation period (10 years; Bird et al. 2020). The population is therefore suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any substantial declines or threats.
