This species is locally abundant, and its population is considered to be stable but it is listed as Near Threatened since this species is range-restricted (to 1,289 km2). Changing and intensifying agricultural practices may lead to loss and fragmentation of suitable habitats, which could drive the species to be Endangered.[1]
