Phylloscopus ibericus
The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The Iberian chiffchaff is a tiny bird that breeds in the humid deciduous woodlands of the northern half and west of the Iberian Peninsula and a strip of south-western France, and winters in sub-Saharan Africa. It is practically identical to the European common chiffchaff and can be told apart reliably only by song and genetics. It was separated as a species in its own right in the 1990s, and there is a narrow strip in the Pyrenees where the two species meet and occasionally hybridise.
