About the Red-throated Tit
The red-throated tit (Melaniparus fringillinus) is a species of bird in the family Paridae. It is found in Kenya and Tanzania, where its natural habitat is dry savanna. The red-throated tit was formerly one of the many species in the genus Parus but was moved to Melaniparus after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 showed that the members of the new genus formed a distinct clade.
