We don’t really get birds like that in the UK so I asked. He’s a tentilhão. Except that just means chaffinch, as far as I can tell. The one he looks most like is tentilhão-dos-Açores but I don’t know how he’s made it as far as Madeira! There were quite a few there too. Them and andorinhas.

Oh my god, lads, I discovered it before anyone else! I’m going to get the Nobel prize for ornithology! https://funchalnoticias.net/2023/07/22/tentilhao-da-madeira-e-nova-especie-endemica/
