Population justification: The population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as rare, but locally common (Short and Horne 2020). Based on the frequency of records within the range (per eBird 2022), the population is here tentatively suspected to number 10,000-19,999 mature individuals. This value however urgently requires confirmation, as the population is unlikely to be very large (per E. Botero-Delgadillo in litt. 2023).

Trend justification: There are no data on the population trends, but declines are suspected on the basis of the species' preference for forests and ongoing deforestation in the region.
Over the past three generations (10.9 years), 5% of tree cover (with a canopy cover of at least 30%) has been lost; since 2017 this has been accelerating to a rate equivalent to 7% over three generations (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Given the species' tolerance of fragmented and secondary forests as well as plantations, tree cover loss is unlikely to be driving rapid population declines. Tentatively, population declines are here placed in the band 1-9% over three generations.
