Population justification: This species was described as common in the Andean Cordillera Central in Colombia (Cuervo et al. 2008) and fairly common in tall forest in Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso, Brazil (Lees et al. 2013). It is common in Guyana, Suriname, and throughout the forested interior of French Guiana (Restall et al. 2006, O. Ottema in litt. 2020, O. Claessens and V. Pelletier in litt. 2020). It is also common in the Peruvian Amazon (D. Brooks in litt. 2021, F. Angulo in litt. 2021) and in Costa Rica (C. Sánchez in litt. 2021).

Recorded densities include 2.27 and 3.5 individuals/km² in terra firme forest in central Amazonia (Johnson et al. 2011, Soto 2013) and 3.5 individuals/km² in French Guiana (Thiollay 1994). The population size is suspected to fall within the range 5,000,000 - 49,999,999 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2020).

Trend justification: Remote sensing data on tree cover loss indicate that approximately 5% of tree cover with at least 30% canopy cover was lost from within the species's range over the past three generations (12 years; Global Forest Watch 2021). Based on the rate of tree cover loss over 2016-2020, it is projected that up to 7% of tree cover may be lost from the species's range over the next three generations.
The species is tolerant of some habitat degradation, so the population may not be declining in line with forest loss. However, it is also subject to hunting. The population size is therefore suspected to have undergone a reduction of 1-10% over the past three generations, and is suspected to undergo a reduction of 1-13% over the next three generations.
