The buff-breasted wheatear (Oenanthe bottae) is a species of bird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae that is found in the montane areas of the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. It is also known as Botta's wheatear or the red-breasted wheatear. The species is named after Paul-Émile Botta.
Heuglin's wheatear (O. heuglini) and the rusty-breasted wheatear (Oenanthe frenata) were formerly considered to be conspecific.[2]
