Buntings and New World Sparrows (Emberizidae)
Striolated Bunting (Emberiza striolata) - HBW 16, p. 521
French: Bruant striolé
German: Wüstenammer
Spanish: Escribano Estriado
Other common names: Striped Bunting
Taxonomy: Fringilla striolata M. H. C. Lichtenstein, 1823, Ambukol, Nubia, Berber, Sudan.
Often treated as conspecific with E. sahari, but constant differences in plumage and behaviour. Race jebelmarrae interpreted as an intergrade between nominate and saturatior by some workers, but others consider it synonymous with latter; situation complicated by considerable individual variation in plumage. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- striolata (M. H. C. Lichtenstein, 1823) - Israel and Sinai Peninsula, Arabian Peninsula, S Iran, Pakistan and NW India, and NE Sudan, Eritrea and N Somalia.
- jebelmarrae (Lynes, 1920) - NE Chad and W Sudan.
- saturatior (Sharpe, 1901) - C Sudan, SW Ethiopia and NW Kenya.
