-- modern Greek in this case --> maúros (μαύρος) "black" (cf. "moor"), in reference to the upperpart color as compared to S. rubicola.
It is a small bird 11.5–13 cm long, very closely similar to the Siberian Stonechat in both plumage and behaviour, differing in only small details, notably having a slightly broader-based bill 4.7–5.7 mm wide (4.0–4.9 mm wide in Siberian Stonechat) and slightly less white on the rump.
