A bird perched on a branch. Published in HBW Volume 12 on page 665. Original HBW caption: Until recently subsumed in Parus, the morphologically distinct genus Periparus contains seven species notable for their small size, pale nuchal spots, and relatively fine bills. They usually have two wingbars, one on the median secondary coverts and the other on the greater secondary coverts. These bars are formed by small white tips to the covert feathers, producing a dotted impression quite different from the continuous bars seen in some other parids. The most successful and best-known member of this group is the Coal Tit, a conifer specialist distributed across the Palearctic Realm from Western Europe to Japan and Taiwan. Much less well known is the Rufousvented Tit, a denizen of montane broadleaf forests in the Himalayan zone. This species resembles the Coal Tit in general pattern, especially the pale cheek patch, but differs in its rufous vent, jaunty crest and lack of wingbars. The nominate race is extensively cinnamon on the underparts, while the eastern race beavani, pictured here, is largely grey below. IBC scientific name: Periparus rubidiventris beavani. Elevation: 2034 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
