Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Black-headed tit with white edges to the wing feathers. Varies geographically: pale-buff on the belly with a brown eye in the eastern part of the range, and rich-rufous with a yellow eye in the western part of the range. Found in low densities in broadleaf woodland, mainly miombo, though locally also in mopane and Zambezi teak woodland. Vocalizations are classic scratchy tit calls and clear, high-pitched up-and-down series.
