The rufous-vented tit (Periparus rubidiventris) is an Asian songbird species in the tit and chickadee family (Paridae). Some of its subspecies were formerly assigned to its western relative the rufous-naped tit (P. rufonuchalis), or these two were considered entirely conspecific.
The tit was formerly placed in the genus Parus. The four subspecies are: Periparus rubidiventris rubidiventris – S rim of Himalayas from NW to NE India and N Nepal. Periparus rubidiventris beavani (Jerdon, 1863) – Beavan's rufous-vented tit – S rim of Himalayas in NE India and Bhutan.
Periparus rubidiventris whistleri – SE rim of Himalayas in SW China and adjacent N Myanmar and extreme NE India. Sometimes included in beavani. Periparus rubidiventris saramatii – Very localised in NW Myanmar. This tit is a native of the western Himalayas, but has a very large range, occurring in parts of Bhutan, China, Pakistan, India, Myanmar and Nepal. Its natural habitats are boreal forests and temperate forests. In Bhutan for example, P. r. beavani is a rather common all-year resident in moist Bhutan fir (Abies densa) forests, between approximately 3,000 and 4,000 meters ASL... Wikipedia →

Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-vented Tit sighting in Jiuzhaigou National Park on a given day, based on 88 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 131 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–June and September–November
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-vented Tit in Jiuzhaigou National Park on a given day, against about 30% in July and December, the lowest months. January to March have too few records to rate.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rufous-vented Tit sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Rufous-vented Tit sightings, Jiuzhaigou National Park has the highest daily chance: about 50%. Next come Langtang National Park (Nepal, about 30%).
Same genus: Periparus
The closest relatives of the Rufous-vented Tit that you can see in Jiuzhaigou National Park (genus Periparus, Tufted and Yellow-bellied Tits) are Coal Tit (about 30%) and Yellow-bellied Tit (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-vented Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Jiuzhaigou National Park (88 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
