Taxonomic note

Pteroglossus torquatus, P. sanguineus and P. erythropygius (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as P. torquatus following SACC (2006) and a review by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group, and before then were split as P. torquatus, P. sanguineus and P. erythropygius following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993).

Population justification: The global population size is unknown given recent taxonomic splits.

Trend justification:

The population trend has not been investigated. Tree cover within the range is lost at a rate of 3% over three generations (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species is reportedly susceptible to deforestation, even though it can tolerate secondary forest; moreover, it may locally be subject to hunting pressure (Green and Kannan 2020). Consequently, population declines may exceed the rate of tree cover loss. They are here tentatively placed in the band 1-19% over three generations.
