Black-headed Penduline Tit (Remiz macronyx)
About the Black-headed Penduline Tit
The black-headed penduline tit (Remiz macronyx) is a species of bird in the family Remizidae. It is found in Central Asia in reed beds along lakes or rivers. Its distribution is fragmented. It is the least thoroughly-documented bird in the Remiz genus, and has been described as one of the most poorly-known birds in Central Asia. It is omnivorous. Four subspecies are recognised: Remiz macronyx macronyx (Severtsov, 1873) – southwest Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, north & southeast Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and northeast Afghanistan. Remiz macronyx neglectus (Zarudny, 1908) – north Iran and south Turkmenistan. Its males typically have heads more fully covered in black plumage, with fewer traces of the chestnut seen in other subspecies.
