Known locally as "quiriquiri".
DNA analysis shows this species is considerably different to the European and African kestrel clade within the genus Falco. Therefore it's not actually a kestrel. Instead, a process of convergent evolution to fit a similar small prey niche in the ecosystem as the true kestrels have left it with similar physical characteristics and hunting methods.
