The ground tit, or Pseudopodoces humilis, is a species of bird that lives on the Tibetan Plateau, to the north of the Himalayas. It is also known by the names Tibetan ground-tit and Hume’s ground-tit. Due to its peculiar appearance, ornithologists initially mistook this bird for a crow or jay. However, DNA sequence analysis has now shown that it is a member of the tit family (Paridae) and the only member of the genus Pseudopodoces. |
