Could be wrong but.....House Bunting.

It is indeed a House Bunting belonging to the NW African (sub)species sahari.

I thought this was now a separate species from striolata. Sahari remains House Bunting and striolata renamed Mountain Bunting? Was split a couple of years ago I think???

Hi everyone,
The House Bunting is now a breeder in Tangier. Last year (and this year too) we saw more than a dozen of birds all together in Tangier Medina (=ancient town) with juvinules with them. The observation was published in Birding World, vol. 19, no. 6, 2006. The artcle's name is "Is House Bunting about to colonise Europe?"

Thanks everyone. There were actually quite a few of them around the Medina in Marrakesh.
We had one inside the terminal building at Marrakech airport a few years back.

Yeah, they're very tame in marrakesh and often live inside the quadrants and courtyards, and come inside the buildings.
