Justification of Red List category
This species has a highly restricted range, within which it is uncommon and local. It is therefore likely to have a moderately small global population size, which is likely to be declining owing to habitat loss. It is apparently tolerant of secondary and degraded habitats, suggesting that it is not at imminent risk, and it is therefore considered Near Threatened.
