Justification of Red List category

Apparent threats do not suggest that the species occurs in only few locations and the population is not severely fragmented, hence does not meet threatened thresholds.

Population size: unknown

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 3,500 km²

Country endemic: yes
