Oenanthe xanthoprymna (Kurdistan Wheatear)

Synonyms: Saxicola xanthoprymna (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Kurdish wheatear (Oenanthe xanthoprymna), also known as the Kurdistan wheatear, the chestnut-rumped wheatear or the red-rumped wheatear, is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. The red-tailed wheatear (O. chrysopygia) was formerly considered a subspecies of this bird but is now often regarded as a separate species. The two may intergrade in Iran but it is also possible that the rather differently coloured O. chrysopygia is in fact a one-year-old O. xanthoprymna with intermediate plumage.
