Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified given recent taxonomic splits. Prior to being split, the species has been described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification:

The population trend has not been investigated. Tree cover within the range is lost at a rate of 4% over ten years (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Population declines are therefore likely occurring at a similar rate; they are here tentatively placed in the band 1-9% over ten years.
