Parus palustris (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Marsh Tit (Poecile palustris) and Burmese Tit (Poecile hypermelaenus) following Eck and Martens (2006) owing to apparent morphological, vocal, genetic and ecological differences between the two taxa.
Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Marsh Tit (Poecile palustris).
