Justification of Red List category
This species is known only from a few specimen and sight records, but there is no clarity on the true extent of its distribution and hence on the population size or trends. Until the taxon is clearly delimited and it is possible to reduce the uncertainty over the range and consequently the plausible range of population size and impact of potential threats, it is classified as Data Deficient.

Population size: unknown

Population trend: unknown

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 93 km²
