Justification of Red List category
There has been extensive forest loss in the species’s range, and this species may be very intolerant of any habitat alteration. Therefore, while the rate of forest clearance is low, declines may be occurring even in areas not completely cleared. Habitat clearance is likely to continue into the future, and it is suspected that the population of this species is declining at least at a slow or moderate rate. Therefore, this species is listed as Vulnerable, on the basis of its small Area of Occupancy.

Population size: unknown

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 658,000 km2
