Taxonomic note
Previously listed as Crateroscelis murina (del Hoyo and Collar 2016), but moved to current genus following Norman et al. (2018). Race fumosa perhaps indistinguishable from capitalis (Beehler and Pratt 2016). Sclater’s murina published in May, Gray’s monacha in Jul (Peterson 1999). Five subspecies recognized.

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be mostly common to very common, though scarce in some areas (Coates 1990). This species is considered to have a high dependency on forest habitat, and tree cover is estimated to have declined by 2% within its mapped range over the past 10 years (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). It is therefore tentatively suspected that this rate of cover loss may have led to a decline of between 1-19% in the species' population size over the same time frame, with a best estimate of reduction being less than 5%.

Trend justification:   .
