Justification of Red List category
This newly split species is listed as Near Threatened because it breeds on only four islands, where it faces a number of threats, although there is presently no evidence for an overall decline. Nevertheless, its restricted breeding range leaves it moderately susceptible to stochastic events and human impacts.

Population size: 1000-2000 mature individuals

Population trend: unknown

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 19,200,000 km²

Country endemic: yes
