Justification of Red List category
This species is restricted to a relatively small range and is suspected to have a moderately small population that is declining due to forest loss. However, its appears at least somewhat tolerant of human-modified landscapes, therefore rates of population decline are suspected to be lower than those of forest loss. It is therefore listed as Least Concern. However, further research is needed into the species' population size and structure, and the impact of forest loss on the population.
