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.[1]
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.[2]
