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.

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-breasted Tit sighting in Langtang National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 204th most-seen of the 225 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-breasted Tit in Langtang National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.

Only Langtang National Park, in our data
Langtang National Park is the only park 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.
Same genus: Periparus

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-breasted Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Langtang National Park (6 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.
