Yellow-cheeked Tit (Machlolophus spilonotus)
About the Yellow-cheeked Tit
The yellow-cheeked tit (Machlolophus spilonotus) is a species of bird in the family Paridae. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. Its range extends across the eastern Himalayas, southern China and Indochina. The yellow-cheeked tit was formerly one of the many species in the genus Parus but was moved to Machlolophus after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 showed that the members of the new genus formed a distinct clade.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 90 recordings for this species: 28 CC BY-NC-SA · 8 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
