Justification of Red List category
This species qualifies as Vulnerable because it has a very small breeding range at three or four locations, and is therefore susceptible to stochastic events or human impacts. It is likely to have been extirpated from one island some time ago, but the bulk of the population is presumably stable.

Population size: 5554 mature individuals

Population trend: stable

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 1,900,000 km²

Country endemic: yes
