The black-headed penduline tit (Remiz macronyx) is a species of bird in the family Remizidae. It is found in Central Asia in reed beds along lakes or rivers.[2] Its distribution is fragmented.[2] It is the least thoroughly-documented bird in the Remiz genus,[2] and has been described as one of the most poorly-known bird in Central Asia.[3]
Diet
[edit]It is omnivorous.[4]
Taxonomy
[edit]Four subspecies are recognised:[5]
- R. m. macronyx (Severtsov, 1873) – southwest Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, north & southeast Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and northeast Afghanistan.
- R. m. neglectus (Zarudny, 1908) – north Iran and south Turkmenistan. Its males typically have heads more fully covered in black plumage, with fewer traces of the chestnut seen in other subspecies.[3]
- R. m. nigricans (Zarudny, 1908) – southeast Iran and southwest Afghanistan. It is generally believed to have gone extinct.[6] It had a dark head and a chestnut body.[3]
- R. m. ssaposhnikowi (Johansen, HE, 1907) – southeast Kazakhstan
The IUCN considers R. macronyx to be a synonym of Remiz pendulinus, the Eurasian penduline tit.[1]
