Java: Create a simple generic method to count after applying filter

I want to create a simple generic method to count the numbers after applying the filter based on the provided predicate.

static int count(Collection < ? extends Number > numbers, Predicate < ? extends Number > predicate) {
  return numbers.stream().filter(predicate).count();
}

It gives me the following error:

incompatible types: Predicate cannot be converted to Predicate<? super CAP#2> where CAP#1, CAP#2 are fresh type-variables:

CAP#1 extends Number from capture of ? extends Number

CAP#2 extends Number from capture of ? extends Number
