Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified. This species has been described as rare overall, but is common in Misiones, Argentina (Holt et al. 2020).

Trend justification: The species is suspected to be in decline, mainly caused by habitat loss. A recent deforestation analysis found that tree cover loss within the species' range amounted to c. 10% over the past three generations ([16.8 years; Bird et al. 2020], Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Based on annual rates of tree cover loss over the past five years, this rate is projected to increase up to 12% over the next three generations (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species remains rare in some parts of its range (Holt et al. 2020) and it may also be subject to trade that could accelerate declines beyond the rate of habitat loss alone. Overall, the species is suspected to be declining at a rate of 10-19% over three generations.
