Pseudopodoces humilis (Hume's groundpecker; Ground Tit)

Wikipedia Abstract

The ground tit, Tibetan ground-tit or Hume's ground-tit (Pseudopodoces humilis) is a lark-like bird which lives to the north of the Himalayas. It is also known as Hume's groundpecker. It was formerly thought to belong to the family Corvidae which includes the crows and jays and was called Hume's ground jay or Tibetan ground jay. This species has since been identified as a member of the tit family (Paridae) and is the only species in the genus Pseudopodoces.
