Shaheen falcon

The shaheen falcon (''Falco peregrinus peregrinator'') is a non-migratory subspecies of the peregrine falcon found mainly in the Indian subcontinent. It has also been described as a migratory subspecies.〔 Describes subspecies ''peregrinator'' "from the southern Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka", says "current range...is defined as extending eastward into northern Myanmar and central and south-eastern China", and possibly as vagrants in Malaysia, but that their taxonomic status in some regions is uncertain.〕 Other common names for the subspecies include the Indian peregrine falcon, black shaheen falcon,〔 black shaheen, Indian shaheen, or the Pakistani shaheen,〔The ''shaheen'' (شاهین) of Arabic and Persian writers are usually Barbary falcons; those in Indian (शाहीन) and Pakistani (شاہین) sources normally refer to ''peregrinator''.〕 and the word ''shaheen'' in these names may also be spelled as ''shahin''.〔
==Taxonomy==
The taxon was formally described by Carl Jakob Sundevall in 1837 as a separate species, ''Falco peregrinator'', based on a juvenile specimen caught on a ship between Sri Lanka and the Nicobar Islands.〔 Its taxonomic status as a subspecies of ''Falco peregrinus'' has been controversial for several years.〔 Amidst conflicting views by ornithologists in the mid-19th century, the shaheen falcon was described as three new species: ''Falco shaheen'' from south India was described by Jerdon in 1839, ''Falco micrurus'' from Nepal and Burma was described by Hodgson in 1844, and ''Falco atriceps'' from Northern India was described by Hume in 1869. These three species were generally accepted as distinct until around the turn of the century, when all three were lumped together with Sundevall's ''Falco peregrinator'' as ''Falco peregrinus peregrinator''.〔
The subspecies name ''peregrinator'', Latin for a wanderer or habitual traveler, reflects its traveling ability.
The common English name ''shahin'' should not be confused with the same word in the Indo-European language Persian, the Turkic language Turkish, and the Afroasiatic language Arabic, where it may refer to falcons or a species of falcon. In the Indo-European language Hindi, ''shahin'' or ''shahin kohi'' refer to the female of the ''peregrinator'' subspecies, while males of the subspecies are referred to as ''kohila''.
