Tits and Chickadees (Paridae)

Palawan Tit (Periparus amabilis) - HBW 12, p. 724

French: Mésange de Palawan German: Kapuzenmeise Spanish: Carbonero de Palawan
Other common names: Black-headed Tit

Taxonomy: Parus amabilis Sharpe, 1877, Balabac, Philippines.
Until recently present genus normally subsumed into a broad Parus, and many authors still prefer that treatment. Alternatively, has been combined with P. venustulus and P. elegans in a separate genus, Pardaliparus, and may form a superspecies with these two. Monotypic.

Distribution: Calauit, Palawan and Balabac, in W Philippines.
