Subspecies
No subspecies.

Until recently present genus normally subsumed into a broad Parus, and many authors still prefer that treatment. Genus normally treated as feminine, but no evidence in original description or elsewhere justifies this, so genus is masculine by default. Has been considered conspecific with Mountain Chickadee (Poecile gambeli) or placed with it in a superspecies. Further research is required.
