Ashy-throated Parrotbill

The Ashy-throated Parrotbill, Paradoxornis alphonsianus, is a songbird. In old sources, it may be called Alphonse's Crow-tit; though superficially resembling a tit it is not a member of the Paridae. The native range of this species extends from south-west China to northern Vietnam, and it might have become naturalised in one area in Italy.

The Ashy-throated Parrotbill is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
