Subspecies
Subspecies divided into three groups, iredalei forming one group, annamensis another, and remaining four subspecies forming "nominate group". Subspecies annamensis is morphologically distinct, and its separation as a full species could well be justified on this basis alone. Some south-eastern Asian populations of this species of uncertain racial affinity. Thus, birds in north-western Thailand presumed to belong with pulchellus, those in east-central Laos (Nakay-Nam Theun) tentatively included with talifuensis, and those in north-eastern Vietnam and on Hainan I presumed to be of nominate subspecies. Subspecies talifuensis perhaps better synonymized with nominate.

Proposed subspecies taiwanensis (Taiheisan, in Taiwan) inseparable from nominate.

The following 7 subspecies are recognised:

  • iredalei (Baker, ECS, 1920)   -  Northern Pakistan (Swat) eastern in Himalayas to north-eastern India (Mishmi Hills, in eastern Arunachal Pradesh), also SW China (Sun Kosi valley and Tsangpo bend area of southern Xizang). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Red-headed Tit (Aegithalos iredalei).
  • manipurensis (Hume, 1888)   -  North-eastern India (from south-eastern Arunachal Pradesh south to Lushai Hills of eastern Mizoram) and western Myanmar (Chin Hills).
  • talifuensis (Rippon, 1903)   -  North-eastern Myanmar (east of R Irrawaddy), southern China (central and south-western Sichuan southern from Emei Shan, south to Yunnan and south-western Guizhou), northern and east-central Laos and north-western Vietnam.
  • pulchellus (Rippon, 1900)   -  Eastern Myanmar (southern Shan States and Karenni District) and north-western Thailand.
  • concinnus (Gould, 1855)   -  East-central and south-eastern China (southern Shaanxi and Hubei east to southern Jiangsu, south to northern Guangxi and Fujian; has bred Hong Kong, but possibly birds of captive origin), also north-eastern Vietnam (Cao Bang and Ha Giang Provinces), Hainan I and Taiwan.
  • annamensis (Robinson & Kloss, 1919)   -  Southern Laos (Boloven Plateau), Vietnam (central and southern Annam) and adjacent Cambodia (Phumi Dak Dam). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Grey-crowned Tit (Aegithalos annamensis).
  • rubricapillus (Ticehurst, 1925)   -  Central, eastern Himalayas.
