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 →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-vented Tit sighting in Langtang National Park on a given day, based on 149 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 21st most-seen of the 225 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-vented Tit in Langtang National Park on a given day, against about 20% in June, August and November, the lowest months. That is one of Langtang National Park's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 390 mm in July.
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.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Rufous-vented Tit sightings, Langtang National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Jiuzhaigou National Park (China, about 50%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-vented Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Langtang National Park (149 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.
