Warbler or Tit?
Bernard Brunet. Painted illustration.

The two (asian) species of tit-warblers were previously classified in the old world warblers family and now in the family of the long-tailed tits.

The subspecies depicted here is leptopoecile sophiae major,from western China.
Scientific name
leptopoecile sophiae major
I'm warbling over your long-tailed Tit,Bernard. A colourful little specimen. Nice work. Delivering Native Art,are you? ;);
 
My birding books are limited. I have search my slim book on birds of China, but failed to locate it. I have faith in your knowledge, Bernard - a beautiful tit painting!
 
Many thanks again everyone :t:
Easty-You have some good photos of various races of this species on the following website:eek:riental bird club image database.
 
Excellent portrait Bernard...very colourful bird but I wonder if they sound similar to our birds.
 
Thank you,Adrian! Really their appearance is very different from our long-tailed tit!
