what is it?

The eastern subalpine warbler ( Curruca cantillans ) is a small typical warbler which breeds in the southernmost areas of Europe. It was first described by the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas in 1764 and given the binomial name Motacilla cantillans . The specific cantillans is Latin for "warbling" from canere , "to sing".
