Rationale (Changed due to Same category and criteria)
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution in the assessment region, its occurrence in multiple protected areas (including Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park and Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area), its tolerance of disturbed habitats, its relative abundance compared to other species, and because there are no major identified threats that could cause widespread population decline. Further taxonomic resolution is required through molecular research.Regional population effects: Their range is continuous with Mozambique and Zimbabwe through the Great Limpopo and Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Areas. However, it has low wing loading (Schoeman & Jacobs 2008), so rescue effects are uncertain.
