Assessment rationale/justification
Retained in this Red List assessment due to its regional listing as Vulnerable as a breeding bird in the Arabian Peninsula, this species has a very small non-breeding population within the UAE. It is listed here as Endangered under Criterion D, having been adjusted down by one category because it has a relatively small population size in UAE compared to the regional and global population. Further research is required to identify whether the species may be being impacted by factors such as habitat loss.

Threats listed in assessment
Symes et al. (2015) does note that its habitat could be declining (with no first level threat described) in the wider Arabian Peninsula, although pesticide use is potentially a key threat in its wider range. Within the UAE itself, overgrazing in areas outside of Protected Areas could potentially be an issue for this species too.
