Population justification: The population size has not been quantified, but the species was found to be common, with up to eight individuals recorded daily (O'Neill et al. 2000). It is suspected that the population numbers less than 1,000 mature individuals (per SERFOR 2018).

Trend justification: There are no data on the population trend, but declines are suspected on the basis of the species' dependence on humid forests and ongoing deforestation within the known range (Global Forest Watch 2022, Short et al. 2022).
Within the range, up to 9% of tree cover is lost over three generations (10.9 years; Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species is only recorded in forests; it is not known whether it is able to tolerate habitat loss, degradation and disturbance. Precautionarily, it is assumed that the species is sensitive to tree cover loss, and that population declines may consequently exceed the rate of tree cover loss substantially. Population declines are here tentatively placed in the band 10-19% over three generations.
