Subspecies
No subspecies.
Forms a superspecies with Rufous-fronted Tit (Aegithalos iouschistos), Black-browed Tit (Aegithalos bonvaloti) and Burmese Tit (Aegithalos sharpei) and all sometimes treated as conspecific, but they seem to be morphologically fairly distinct from one another and, while ranges overlap only minimally or not at all, there is no evidence of intergradation or hybridization between any of them.
