Justification of Red List category
Despite its apparent adaptation to secondary habitat, this species is seriously threatened by the massive forest destruction taking place across its range. Its population may well be declining rapidly. In addition, apparent declines in the well-preserved Gola Forest are unexplained. Due to the suspected rapid overall population decline, this species is classified as Vulnerable.
