Assessment rationale/justification
This species has a relatively large resident population in the UAE, which is thought to be increasing. Also in the wider Arabian Peninsula, the species is possibly increasing; thus, the potential for immigration from outside the UAE remains very high. Therefore, the species is listed as Least Concern at the national level.
