Justification of Red List category
This species has a fairly small population. Even though tree cover loss is currently low within the range, habitat degradation and fragmentation are ongoing. Due to its sensitivity to the disturbance and reduction of forest patches the population is inferred to be in slow continuing decline. The species is therefore assessed as Vulnerable.

Population size: 7500 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 28,700 km²

Country endemic: yes
