List of Pterocliformes by population

This is a list of Pterocliformes species by global population. Pterocliformes is a monotypic order which contains the sandgrouse family (Pteroclidae). While numbers are estimates, they have been made by the experts in their fields. For more information on how these estimates were ascertained, see Wikipedia's articles on population biology and population ecology.

Not all Pterocliformes have had their numbers quantified, but species without population estimates are included in a secondary table below.

The IOC World Bird List (version 15.1) recognizes 16 species of Pterocliformes.[1] As of January 2026, IUCN/BirdLife International have assessed all members of the order, though only two have population estimates.

Species by global population

Common name Binomial name Population Status Trend Notes Image
Black-bellied sandgrouse Pterocles orientalis 130,000-259,999[2] LC[2] [2] Preliminary estimate based on extrapolation of European population.[2]
Pin-tailed sandgrouse Pterocles alchata 170,000-250,000[3] LC[3] [3] Preliminary estimate based on extrapolation of European population.[3]
