Subspecies
No subspecies.
Until recently present genus normally subsumed into a broad Parus, and many authors still prefer that treatment. Alternatively, has been combined with Elegant Tit (Pardaliparus elegans) and Palawan Tit (Pardaliparus amabilis) in a separate genus, Pardaliparus, and may form a superspecies with these two.
