Justification of Red List category

This species has an extremely large range and given the extent of remaining suitable habitat is assumed to also have a large population size, although this has not been quantified. However it is highly sensitive to the loss, fragmentation and degradation of its forest habitat. With a low rate of forest cover loss recorded within the range over the past three generations it is suspected that the population is declining at a moderate rate, but the rate is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach threatened thresholds. The species is evaluated as Least Concern, but rates of habitat loss require ongoing monitoring and remaining large areas of intact forest must be retained.

Population size: unknown

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 6,350,000 km²
