Justification of Red List category
This species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
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.
