White-crowned Penduline-Tit © animal.photos

Vagrant to India.

Forms a species group with Eurasian Penduline-Tit (Remiz pendulinus), Black-headed Penduline Tit (Remiz macronyx) and Chinese Penduline-Tit (Remiz consobrinus). All often considered conspecific. Probably most closely related to Eurasian Penduline-Tit (Remiz pendulinus), but sometimes considered conspecific with Chinese Penduline-Tit (Remiz consobrinus) (the other two then united as a separate species). Treatment as four distinct species based mainly on structural, as well as plumage and habitat, differences; present species differs from others in genus in bill and leg structure, as well as habitat preferences. Subspecies intergrade in south-eastern Kazakhstan.

Proposed subspecies centralasiae (from central Asia) and yeniseensis (from Sayan and Tannu-ola, on upper course of R Yenisey, in southern Russia) both considered inseparable from stoliczkae.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

• coronatus (Severtsov, 1873)   -  Breeds southern and south-eastern Kazakhstan, northern Uzbekistan, southern Turkmenistan and Amu Darya valley, Kyrgyzstan, north-western China (Ili valley, in north-western Xinjiang), Tajikistan and north-eastern (probably also north-west) Afghanistan. Non-breeding eastern Iran, northern and western Afghanistan, Pakistan and north-western India (east to Haryana).
• stoliczkae (Hume, 1874)   -  Breeds eastern Kazakhstan, southern Russia (from Altai east to Chita, in southern Transbaikalia), north-western and central Mongolia and north-western and northern China (Xinjiang east, excluding Ili valley, to íœrümqi; northern Ningxia).
