The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The yellow-rumped tinkerbird is a tiny bird of the African forests, black and yellow with two pale stripes on the face.

Its call is one of the most persistent sounds of the African forest: a metallic tok repeated for hours without variation.
