Birds of Iran

Red-tailed Wheatear or Persian Wheatear was split into Persian wheatear (Oenanthe chrysopygia) and Kurdish Wheatear (Oenanthe xanthoprymna) a couple of years back. The sexes are similar in chrysopygia.

Here is an adult breeding persian wheatear O.Chrysopygia in the left photo. while sexes are similar in O.chrysopygia, they'll change quiet a bit after the first winter.
