The Kurdish Wheatear[2] (Oenanthe xanthoprymna), also known as the Kurdistan Wheatear, Chestnut-rumped Wheatear, or Red-rumped Wheatear, is a species of bird in the Muscicapidae family. The Red-tailed Wheatear (O. chrysopygia) was formerly considered a subspecies of this bird but is now often regarded as a separate species.
Its breeding range covers south-east Turkey, northern Iraq, and western Iran. It migrates south in winter to the Arabian Peninsula and north-east Africa.
