Tits and Chickadees (Paridae) - HBW 12
Bridled Titmouse (Baeolophus wollweberi)
French: Mésange arlequin
German: Zügelmeise
Spanish: Herrerillo Embridado
Taxonomy: Lophophanes wollweberi Bonaparte, 1850, Zacatecas, Mexico.
Until recently present genus normally subsumed into a broad Parus, and many authors still prefer that treatment; present species has also been placed in Lophophanes by some, but molecular-genetic data indicate a much closer relationship to other members of present genus. Nominate race and phillipsi intergrade in NW Mexico; caliginosus often merged with nominate. Four subspecies recognized.
