Barbary Falcon Falco pelegrinoides

The Barbary Falcon is like a small Peregrine, to which it is related, with a rufus nape and more speckled breast (rather than barred). It is native to the Canary Islands in the west, across North Africa and the Middle East to Central Asia. Some include it as two sub-species of the Peregrine, Falco peregrinus pelegrinoides in Africa and F. p. babylonicus further east.
