Justification of Red List category
This newly-split species is tolerant of habitat modification, but forest loss has been extensive across much of its range. It is therefore suspected to be undergoing a moderately rapid ongoing population decline and has been classified as Near Threatened, however if the rate of population decline is found to be less rapid it may warrant downlisting to Least Concern in the future.

Population size: unknown

Population trend: Decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 1,040,000 km²

Country endemic: No
