Justification of Red List category
Very little is known about the population size or status of this species. The population is suspected to be in decline as a result of loss and degradation of its forest habitat, however remote sensing data suggest that rates of forest loss in the species' range are not as high as previously thought and the area of suitable habitat remains very large. It is therefore listed as Least Concern. However, more research is needed to clarify the distribution, size and status of the population and to identify other possible threats.
