Assessment rationale/justification
Within the United Arab Emirates, this subspecies is known from a small number of records, and it appears to be distributed along the Gulf coast, on the Fujairah coast, and along a narrow band at the interface between the gravel plains bordering the mountain and active sand dunes to the west. It is listed as Data Deficient due to insufficient information available on the distribution, population and natural history of the subspecies to conclude it to be listed in a different category. This taxon is not a non-breeding visitor, and it is presumed that any immigration from populations outside the UAE is not significant, and therefore there is no adjustment to the Category according to the IUCN regional and national Guidelines (IUCN 2012).
