I took this photo in Romania.
Please can anyone advise as to subspecies; also if a different one than the UK subspecies in which ways would it differ please.

Thank you for your replies :
I have attached two more photos of the same bird: also a baby bird very close by which I assume to be the offspring of the bird in question.
Further comments would be gratefully received because (1) I wasn't aware of the pygmy owl being present in Romania (2) the distribution map I saw online for Pygmy Owl did not show Romania as being in its range.
I am a learner though and defer to others knowledge and experience
Thank you

pygmy owl breeds along the carpathian belt but this clearly is a little owl.
