Justification of Red List category
Although difficult to classify, the evidence of declines in parts of central Asia and the wintering range in south Africa, as well as projected declines in range due to climate change, indicate that this species has experienced moderate overall declines and may continue to do so, and thus warrants Near Threatened status under criteria A2bc+3bc+4bc.
