Justification of Red List category
The species is known from only two small islands, where the availability of suitable habitat is declining due to forest loss and degradation. Nevertheless, the species remains common at many localities. Apart from habitat loss, the species is also threatened by a possible introduction of the Brown Tree Snake in the future, which could potentially wipe out large parts of the population within a short time. Therefore, the species is listed as Near Threatened.
