Population justification: The population has not been quantified, but the species appears generally rare (Renjifo et al. 2014). It is suspected that the population numbers less than 10,000 mature individuals, with subpopulations holding less than 1,000 mature individuals, though there is no numerical basis and an accurate quantification of the population is urgently required. Given the number of observational records (eBird 2023) the true population size may be closer to the upper end of this band.

Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated, but a slow decline is suspected which is likely caused by habitat loss within the range (Renjifo et al. 2014). Tree cover loss within the range is very low (3-4% over ten years; Global Forest Watch 2023, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Population declines are therefore likely equally low and localised, in particular given the species' tolerance of edge and secondary habitat (McMullen et al. 2020); they are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over ten years.
