Etymology
The specific epithet "pussila" is derived from the Latin word for "small" (pusilla), which means that this is likely a case of lapsus calami. The describing author, Kessler, made the same mistake where he wrote "Sitta pusilla" most of the time, but also once as "Sitta pussila" while listing species.[1]
