Justification of Red List category
This species has a large range which exceeds threatened thresholds under the range size criterion. The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion. Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach threatened thresholds under the population trend criterion.
For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Population size: unknown

Population trend: decreasing
