In spite of the apparently very bold head-markings, it doesn't look like a Bimaculated to me. The proportions of the head/bill look better for Calandra (Bimaculated usually has a longer, heavier bill than Calandra) and surely the streaking on the breast-sides is far too extensive for a Bimaculated? Given that Calandra would be a 'first' for Qatar, and the possibility that the bird might still be present, it would be good to obtain better documentation, if possible.KillianKillian</blockquote>
