About the White-browed Tit

The white-browed tit (Poecile superciliosus) is a species of bird in the tit family Paridae. It is endemic to the mountain forests of central China and Tibet. It is 13.5–14 cm long, with a weight of 10–12 g. The plumage pattern is very similar to that of the western North American mountain chickadee P. gambeli (of which it has on occasion been considered a subspecies, despite its being on a different continent), differing in the breast and cheeks being rusty brown, not white, and having a longer and more sharply defined white eyebrow; the back is also a richer brown, not greyish-brown (del Hoyo et al. 2007).

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 16 recordings for this species: 9 CC BY-NC-SA · 7 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.
