Justification of Red List category
This species is confined to a small range in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Forest loss within the range has been low over the past ten years and consequently, the population is here assessed as stable. Despite some habitat fragmentation, the population cannot be considered as severely fragmented, nor is the species restricted to a low number of locations. The species therefore approaches but does not meet the threshold for listing as threatened; it is therefore evaluated as Near Threatened.
