Assessment rationale/justification
The resident population of this species falls in the band 1,000-5,000 mature individuals and thus approaches, but does not exceed the threshold for listing as Vulnerable. It is not known whether the regional population experiences any significant immigration of potentially reproducing individuals; thus the species is classified as Near Threatened.
