Justification of Red List category
Poorly known. This species has a small range and a suspected small population size numbering only 800-3,000 mature individuals. It therefore approaches, but does not meet, the thresholds for listing as threatened under the population size criterion. While habitat loss and hunting are plausible threats, there is little evidence that the species is declining, hence it does not meet or approach the thresholds for listing as threatened under any other criterion. It is therefore evaluated as Near Threatened.
