About the Rufous-naped Tit

The rufous-naped tit (Periparus rufonuchalis), also known as the black-breasted tit or dark-grey tit, is an Asian songbird species in the tit and chickadee family (Paridae). It was sometimes considered conspecific with the rufous-vented tit (P. rubidiventris), and was formerly placed in the genus Parus. This tit is a native of the western Himalayas, but has a very large range, occurring in parts of India, China, Pakistan, Turkestan, Kyrgyzstan, and Afghanistan. Widespread and common, it is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN. Media related to Periparus rufonuchalis at Wikimedia Commons Picture of the rufous-naped tit

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.
