Population justification: The species is rare within its range (Collar and Boesman 2020). In Colombia, local densities of over 30 individuals/km² were observed; however the species is absent from large areas of apparently suitable habitat (Renjifo et al. 2014). The population in Colombia is therefore suspected to number less than 10,000 mature individuals (Renjifo et al. 2014). The population in Venezuela is suspected to number less than 1,000 mature individuals (Sharpe 2008). Its status in Ecuador is uncertain. In the absence of a detailed, range-wide estimate, the population is here tentatively placed in the band 2,500-9,999 mature individuals, but this value requires confirmation.
No information on the population structure exists; it is however suspected that no subpopulation numbers more than 1,000 mature individuals (Sharpe 2008; Renjifo et al. 2014).

Trend justification: The species is suspected to be declining slowly on the basis of continued habitat destruction and fragmentation (Sharpe 2008; Renjifo et al. 2014). Over the past three generations (13.5 years; Bird et al. 2020), 1.5% of tree cover has been lost within the range (Global Forest Watch 2021). As the species prefers wet cloud forests, it is likely that habitat degradation is exacerbating the rate of forest loss, so that the population decline is larger than the rate of tree cover loss alone. The population decline is therefore here placed in the band 1-9% over three generations.
