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 under 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 size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (under 10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be over 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (over 30% decline over ten years or three generations). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. The status of this species was recently reassessed against the IUCN Red List criteria at national level for the Action Plan for Australian Birds 2020 (Garnet and Baker 2021), and not found to approach or meet the thresholds for threatened status, thereby supporting its continuing treatment as globally Least Concern.

Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as locally common to uncommon (del Hoyo et al. 2007). This population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction (del Hoyo et al. 2007).

Trend justification
This population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction (del Hoyo et al. 2007).

This species has a large, discontinuous range across western, central and southern Australia.

The species occupies a range of open and semi-open habitats in arid and semi-arid zones, often in association with spinifex Triodia (Higgins et al. 2001).
