Rationale
(Changed due to Same category and criteria)
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, its tolerance of a broad range of habitats and its presumed large population.
Distribution
This species ranges from southern Kenya, through Tanzania, to Malawi, Zambia, the Caprivi Strip of Namibia, northern and eastern Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, northern and northeastern South Africa, and Swaziland. It is presumed to occur in southeastern Angola, and this area is included in the species' distribution on the map, however there do not yet appear to be any records from this country. It occurs at 200-1,200 m asl in South Africa, and might occur higher elsewhere.
