Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as locally common (Gibbs et al. 2001, Baptista et al. 2020). Although previously suspected to have a moderately small population due to its restricted range and specialised habitat type, recent records show that it is more widely distributed, and therefore its population size is larger than previously thought.

Trend justification: The species has a restricted habitat type which is thought to be under threat from logging and conversion to agriculture, supported by a slow deforestation rate (projected to reach 9% over the next three generations) derived from Global Forest Watch (2022), using Hansen et al. (2013) data and methods disclosed therein. However, the species appears to be more widely distributed than previously thought and may be adaptable to secondary habitats. Based on this information, it is suspected that the population may be undergoing a slow decline in population size, although further survey work is needed to better understand the population trend.
