Justification of Red List category
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified due to recent taxonomic splits, but the species is described as 'common or abundant' (Brewer et al. 2020).
Trend justification
The population trend has not been quantified. However, the species readily uses modified landscapes and appears to benefit from habitat conversion (Brewer et al. 2020); it is therefore tentatively assessed as stable, but may even be found to be increasing.
