Tenerife Blue Tit ( African Blue Tit SM 2003 ) (Cyanistes teneriffae teneriffae)

Should be one for the database, as it seems the fairly recent split from European is included here. It is often considered as a subspecies of Parus ultramarinus (African Blue Tit).

Actually, having just checked the list here on birdforum, they follow the taxonomy where Parus teneriffae is a species in itself (not included in P. ultramarinus). In any case it's still new for the database. Great photo by the way...
