The rufous-naped tit, also called the black-breasted or dark-grey tit, is an Asian songbird of the tit family, formerly placed in the genus Parus. It was sometimes considered conspecific with the rufous-vented tit. It is a native of the western Himalaya but has a very large range, occurring in parts of India, China, Pakistan, Turkestan, Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan (Wikipedia, general species account).

The cached account is short and gives no measurements, diet or breeding information. SoIB 2023 rates it a Low conservation priority, a resident and altitudinal migrant forest bird that eats invertebrates, with a Moderate range of about 76,900 km² and insufficient data on trends (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
