Assessment rationale/justification
The resident population is relatively large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion. The population trend is not known, but the population is not believed to be decreasing and so would not trigger as listing under a threatened category. For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern at the national level.
