Media notes
Male. Remarks: These tits are common in some parts of the world but occur in very localised areas in Malaysia. I have only ever seen them in mangrove forests and coastal Casuarina tree clumps. I saw three different birds; once a single bird and on the other occasion a pair. I am posting images of the pair. At first I thought this might be a male-female pair but both look like males. Using HBW 2020 & Wells 2009, female are differentiated from males by: 1. black ventral line narrower and less intensely black. 2. blacks duller especially on crown. 3. fringes of greater coverts and secondaries greenish grey (not greyish blue). 4. black on side of neck narrower or broken. 5. undertail-coverts more extensively white. - Amar.
