Black-headed penduline tit () is a poorly known bird species mainly distributed in Iran, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan. The distribution of black-headed penduline tit is disjointed and fragmented, and it occurs only along lakes or rivers surrounded by extensive reedbeds. Four subspecies of have been recognized (, , , and ). The subspecies was previously known to occur only around lakes in southeastern Kazakhstan. In this study, we reported the first confirmed breeding record of in the Nalati wetland, Ili, Xinjiang, China, extending the distribution range of the black-headed penduline tit by 350 km to the east. We also obtained new information about the morphology and breeding behavior of , which can be useful for the taxonomy of penduline tits, especially in distinguishing black-headed penduline tits from Eurasian penduline tits ().
黑头攀雀()是一种鲜为人知的鸟类,主要分布在伊朗、土库曼斯坦和哈萨克斯坦。黑头攀雀的分布呈间断且碎片化,仅出现在被大片芦苇床环绕的湖泊或河流沿岸。已确认该物种有四个亚种(、、、和)。此前已知亚种仅在哈萨克斯坦东南部的湖泊周边出现。在本研究中,我们报告了黑头攀雀在中国新疆伊犁那拉提湿地首次得到确认的繁殖记录,将黑头攀雀的分布范围向东扩展了350公里。我们还获得了关于黑头攀雀形态和繁殖行为的新信息,这对攀雀的分类学可能有用,特别是在区分黑头攀雀和欧亚攀雀()方面。
