PAKHI DEKHUN PAKHI CHINUN # 497/515 (Observe the Bird and recognize)..INDIAN BLACK LORED TIT..[From a Photograph of MR. PRATIK HUMNABADKAR] ... WATERCOLOUR ...A4...2015... The Indian black-lored tit or Indian yellow tit (Grimmett et al., 2011), (Parus aplonotus) is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. The yellow-cheeked tit is probably its closest relative, and they might be related to the yellow tit. These three tits almost certainly form a distinct lineage as evidenced by morphology, and mtDNA cytochrome b sequence analysis (Gill et al., 2005). The subgenus name Macholophus may apply for them; placement in Poecile (chickadees and relatives) was apparently proposed[citation needed] but is certainly in error. This species is a resident breeder on the Indian subcontinent. It is a common bird in open tropical forests, but does not occur in Sri Lanka. It is an active and agile feeder, taking insects and spiders from the canopy, and sometimes fruit. It is an easy tit to recognise in
