Justification of Red List category
The population size of this species is suspected to be small. Based on evidence suggesting that there is some movement between the southern part of the range and the northern part, it is assumed that the species forms just one subpopulation within its naturally fragmented habitat. Declines are ongoing, particularly in Peru, where habitat is lost and degraded for agriculture and settlements. The species is therefore listed as Near Threatened. The status should be carefully monitored, particularly in Peru where further habitat loss could result in a rapid increase in threat status.
