The miombo tit (Melaniparus griseiventris) is a species of bird in the family Paridae. It is found in Angola, DR Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
The miombo tit was formerly one of many species in the genus Parus but was moved to Melaniparus after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 showed that the members of the new genus formed a distinct clade.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Miombo Tit sighting in Kafue National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 305th most-seen of the 338 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Miombo Tit in Kafue National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–September and November–February, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Miombo Tit sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kafue National Park, in our data
Kafue National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Miombo 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 Miombo Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Kafue National Park (8 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.
