Population justification: The population size has not been estimated directly. The population in Ecuador is thought to number less than 10,000 mature individuals (Freile et al. 2019); the population in Peru has not been quantified, but is likely very small (SERFOR 2018). The overall population is therefore tentatively placed in the band 2,500-9,999 mature individuals.
The subpopulation structure has not been assessed, but the species may form several subpopulations (see eBird 2021), with the largest numbering more than 1,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The species is undergoing a slow decline, on the basis of continued habitat destruction and the impacts of trade, which is thought to exist locally (Collar and Boesman 2020). Over the past three generations (12 years; Bird et al. 2020), 2% of tree cover within the range has been lost (Global Forest Watch 2021). The species prefers primary forest and may thus be additionally impacted by habitat degradation. Local trade is considered to be only minor (Snyder et al. 2000; Collar and Boesman 2020), and therefore the rate of population decline is unlikely to exceed 10% over three generations.
