The western Canary Islands chiffchaff (Phylloscopus canariensis canariensis) is a small bird in the family Phylloscopidae. It is a subspecies of the Canary Islands chiffchaff found on the islands of El Hierro, La Palma, La Gomera, Tenerife and Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain .
Both the western and the now extinct eastern (Phylloscopus canariensis exsul) subspecies of the Canary Islands chiffchaff were formerly considered subspecies of the common chiffchaff but were separated (Clement & Helbig, 1998; Sangster et al., 2001) due to their morphological, bioacoustical, and mtDNA sequence differences (Helbig et al., 1996).
