Justification of Red List category
This species is classified as Vulnerable because its small and sparsely distributed population is declining and becoming increasingly fragmented in the face of continuing forest loss and degradation throughout its restricted range. Larger recent population estimates and its discovery at several new locations suggest the global population size may prove to be larger than previously thought.

Population size: 3300 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 106,000 km²

Country endemic: no
