Justification of Red List category
This recently-split teal has a small population which may number fewer than 1,000 mature individuals but is not thought to be declining. It has therefore been classified as Vulnerable, but better data may lead to an upward revision of the population estimate that may result in its downlisting in future.

Population size: 250-999

Population trend: Stable

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 13,900 km²

Country endemic: Yes
