Population justification: The global population is suspected to number fewer than 50,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019), thus it is here placed in the band 20,000-49,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The species is undergoing a decline (Partners in Flight 2019). Over the past three generations (23.7 years; Bird et al. 2020), 17% of tree cover has been lost within the range (Global Forest Watch 2021). Apart from forests, the species also occupies forest edges, secondary growth and savanna (Wade and Ghalambor 2020), so tree cover loss alone may not be causing significant population declines. At a low level, the species is also threatened by trapping for the illegal pet trade (Wade and Ghalambor 2020); therefore declines are tentatively placed in the band 10-19% over three generations, but careful monitoring is required in order to track any increases in the rate of decline.
