Hello,
Could someone please advise if the Pied Flys around Barcelona are the nominate form or the ssp.iberiae? I will travel to Barcelona in June and that subspecies/species would be nice to see. Any suggestions?
All the best:

Should be iberiae. Not sure what likelihood there might be of any late hypoleuca migrants in the area, though.

Pied Flycatcher is only possible around Barcelona during Spring and Autumn passage. Although they're both quite big windows they're not present in June. This means they're of the nominate form of course.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.

All the best

Here's the distribution from "not the latest" Spanish breeding bird atlas - should be quite similar still though:

Thanks for everybody for their advise.
So it seems that ssp iberiae is not going to be on my list this time.
I also need Iberian Green Woodpecker though my understanding is that shouldn't pose a problem. However if you know any good stake out for it around Cabrera de Mar north of Barcelona please don't hesitate to tell me.
