Population justification: The species is normally described as very rare, but the records from Taubaté have been taken to indicate that it is difficult to find rather than scarce, although further evidence for this is required (Taylor and van Perlo 1998).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction (del Hoyo et al. 1996).
