Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 350,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2022).
Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated. Tree cover loss within the range is low (5% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Population declines are therefore likely equally low and localised; they are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over ten years.
