It is [[Endemism|endemic]] to [[Palawan]] and the smaller islands of [[Calauit]] and [[Balabac]] in the [[Philippines]]. Within it range it is found in lowland forest habitats, including secondary forests, forest edge, swamps as well as submontane forest. It feeds on small insects, insect larvae, seeds, and fruit. It generally occurs singly or in pairs, and will join [[mixed-species feeding flock]]s.

The male Palawan tit has a black head, throat and neck, a yellow back, belly and breast, and pied black and white wings and tail. The female exhibits limited [[sexual dimorphism]], having an olive back, but is otherwise similar to the male.

Description and taxonomy

[edit]

It is described on EBird as " A small bird of wooded areas on Palawan and neighboring islands, with a full black hood, yellow underparts, a black wing with two white wing-bars and edges, and a black tail with a white tip and outer tail feathers. Back is bright yellow in males and olive in females. Somewhat similar to male Common Iora, but Palawan Tit also has a black rather than yellow throat.

Birds with enlarged gonads collected in May but not much else is known about its breeding habits.[3]

Habitat and conservation status

[edit]

The species inhabits tropical moist lowland primary forest and secondary forest up to 800 meters above sea level.[4]

It is assesed as near threatened under the IUCN with populations believed to be decreasing due to habitat loss and deforestation. The whole of Palawan was designated as a Biosphere Reserve; however, protection and enforcement of laws has been difficult and these threats still continue.
