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.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-breasted Tit sighting in Srinagar on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 85th most-seen of the 120 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-breasted Tit in Srinagar on a given day, against under 5% in May to February, the lowest months. Those are among Srinagar's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in October.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-breasted Tit sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Srinagar, in our data
Srinagar is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-breasted Tit sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-breasted Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Srinagar (10 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
