Siberian Tit

The grey-headed chickadee or Siberian tit (Poecile cinctus) is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread resident breeder throughout subarctic Scandinavia and the northern Palearctic, and also into North America in Alaska and the far northwest of Canada. It is a conifer specialist. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate.

It is a fairly large tit, at 12.5–14 cm long and with a weight of 11–14.3 g intermediate between willow tit and great tit. The head is dark brown (darkest on the throat and eyestripe, the crown slightly paler) with white cheeks, the mantle cinnamon-brown, the wing feathers blackish with pale fringes, and the underparts whitish with pale rusty-brown flanks.
