Indian Black-lored Tit
The Indian black-lored tit, Indian tit, or Indian yellow tit (Grimmett ''et al.'', 2011) (''Machlolophus aplonotus'') is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. The yellow-cheeked tit is probably its closest relative, and both may 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. 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.
