Justification of Red List category
This species is restricted to very small, scattered areas of grasslands in alluvial plains. Connectivity between occupied areas is low, and it is assumed that the majority are in subpopulations that are both small and isolated. Ongoing loss and degradation of its habitat indicate that the population is in decline. The species is therefore listed as Vulnerable.

Population size: 11200 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 318,500 km²
