White-naped Tit

The white-naped tit (Machlolophus nuchalis), sometimes called white-winged tit, is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is endemic to India where it is found in dry thorn scrub forest in two disjunct populations, in western India and southern India.
Its specific name nuchalis means 'of the nuchal, nape'.
This species is hard to mistake with its contrasting black and white patterns without the grey wing coverts and back of the partly sympatric cinereous tit (Parus cinereus). This species is very patchily distributed and is considered to be Near Threatened especially because loss of its preferred acacia habitats and continuing incursion of invasive Neltuma chilensis and Lantana camara trees.
