Think These are Atlantic Canary, African Blue Tit and are they Gran canary black bird(is there such a thing?) or eurasian?
Think the Pipit is Berthelots.

Perhaps surprisingly the evidence suggests the blackbirds in the canaries are undifferentiated from those in Europe (not sure if they are a different subspecies, but genetically there's minimal difference). "Surprisingly" given the divergence in lots of the other passerines

Edit: should have said: in contrast, some classify this blue tit as a distinct species and different from others on other islands
