The Black-bibbed Tit is a small, chickadee-like passerine of highland forests in southwestern China and adjacent Myanmar, distinguished by its prominent black bib and cap contrasting with white cheeks and buffy flanks. It inhabits mixed coniferous and broadleaf forests at medium to high elevations. It feeds on insects, seeds, and berries, often foraging in mixed-species flocks in winter.
