Western Canary Islands chiffchaff


The western Canary Islands chiffchaff is a small bird in the family Phylloscopidae. It is a subspecies of the Canary Islands chiffchaff found on the islands of El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife and Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain.
Both the western and the now extinct eastern subspecies of the Canary Islands chiffchaff were formerly considered subspecies of the common chiffchaff but were separated due to their morphological, bioacoustical, and mtDNA sequence differences.
