| Taxonomic Notes: | Emberiza sahari has been split by Kirwan & Shirihai (2007) from all other populations of E. striolata (nominate striolata plus jebelmarrae and saturiator) on the basis of reported differences in plumage (mainly head pattern and degree of streaking on the upperparts), bill size, vocalizations and ecology. However, this fails to take account of our lack of knowledge of the voice of the geographically intermediate jebelmarrae (differences in both song and call in any case seem relatively minor), fails to acknowledge jebelmarrae's intermediacy in plumage and bill size, and misses the point that the ecological distinction is not absolute and therefore this treatment is not accepted following a review by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group. | ||||||

Justification: This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. |
