BARBARY FALCON:Facts about a smaller relative of the Peregrine! 

Cool 😎 thanks for the update

Wink et al. (2004) found that the DNA sequence of the Black Shaheen (F. peregrinus peregrinator) is almost identical to that of the races peregrinus, calidus, minor, and F. pelegrinoides, which is concordant with the conclusions of Kemp and Crowe (1993), based on a morphometric analysis.

The two races of the Barbary Falcon, pelegrinoides and babylonicus, are often regarded as subspecies of F. peregrinus (Brown and Amadon 1968, Stresemann and Amadon 1979, Brown et al. 1982, del Hoyo et al. 1994), but many recent authors have followed Vaurie (1961), who treated them as a separate species. Birds breeding on the Canary Islands show haplotypes of both F. p. pelegrinoides and F. peregrinus brookei, according to a preliminary study carried out on Fuerteventura Island (Amengual et al. 1996). Wink et al. (2000) also found low genetic variation (

The problem comes down to genetics vs taxonomy. Genetically the barbary is a peregrine. Taxonomically though its very distinct. In the falconry community if you breed a peregrine with a barbary we consider it a hybrid.
