Population & trend
| Estimate | Data quality | Derivation | Year of estimate | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of mature individuals | 670-6700 | medium | Estimated | 0 |

| Population justification: The global population is estimated as 1,000-10,000 individuals (del Hoyo et al. 1994), roughly equivalent to 670-6,700 mature individuals. | ||||
| Trend justification: The species is suspected to be in decline, based on estimates of habitat loss (K. D. Bishop in litt. 2006). | ||||
