Justification of Red List category
This species is restricted to a very small range, and its population size is thought to be moderately small. Currently, the species is not thought to be under imminent risk, as forests within the range remain largely unaffected by human disturbance and habitat loss is very low. The species is therefore evaluated as Near Threatened. The species is however largely unknown; therefore its status may require revision if information on its biology and threats become available.

Population size: 10000-19999 mature individuals

Population trend: stable

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 2,649 km2
