A tiny bit, a smidge, just a little. In Spain, pelín is the word you use to soften a request or describe minimal quantity, 'un pelín más' means just a touch more, not a full measure.
“Ponme un pelín más de vino, por favor.”
“Pour me just a tiny bit more wine, please.”
“You're a tiny bit late but it's fine.”

Mirlo blanco
In Spain, something or someone extraordinarily rare, practically one of a kind. The image comes from ornithology: blackbirds are always black, so a white (albino) one is a statistical near-impossibility. Used to describe anything so exceptional it barely exists.
