Parus caeruleus
Most authorities retain Cyanistes as a subgenus of Parus, but the British Ornithologists' Union treats Cyanistes as a distinct genus. This is supported by mtDNA cytochrome b sequence analysis which suggests that Cyanistes in not only distinct, but not close to other titmice (Gill et al., 2005).

The two traditional subspecies found in the Canary Islands (teneriffae) and northwest Africa from northern Morocco to northern Libya (ultramarinus) are distinctive. The Canary Islands subspecies has a black cap, and the African form has a blue back. Research is underway to split these populations into distinct species, with a peculiar "leapfrog" distribution (Kvist et al., 2005; Kvist, 2006; Sangster, 2006):

Afrocanarian Blue Tit, Parus ultramarinus Bonaparte, 1841 (La Palma, Hierro, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, NW Africa)
Canary Islands Blue Tit, Parus teneriffae Lesson, 1831 (Tenerife, La Gomera, Gran Canaria)
The former would contain three or four subspecies (palmensis, ombriosus and ultramarinus/degener), the latter the nominate P. t. teneriffae and the unnamed distinct form of Gran Canaria.

Wonderful small bird!
Great sharp and detail, nice color.

Svetlana

For this kind of camera settings, the use of a tripod is quite judicious and the results are truly amazing, Vicma.
The BG without any blemish or distraction makes the subject stand out sharp and clear.
The colours and very natural and the details matchless.
Well done and TFS.

Hola Victor,
Otra fantástica captura como es habitual en tus tomas, hay que tener una buena dosis de paciencia para conseguir una buena foto de pájaros, siempre me pareció difícil y ese es el motivo de tener pocos en mi galería. Muy bonito el Parus que teneis por ahí. Un cordial saludo

Splendida cattura, bellissima composizione "classica", ottima nitidezza considerato il tempo di esposizione anche se con il trepiede, bellissima luce e stupendo BG. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Victor,

Hola amigo,

Hola Victor.
Ultimamente entro poco por aquí y por eso no había visto tus últimas fotos.
Los colores de esta foto son muy naturales y estan muy poco alterados y el enfoque no está forzado. La expresión del pajarillo es muy natural y la imagen es muy nítida.
