The grey-headed parrotbill (Psittiparus gularis) is a bird species often placed with the Old World babblers (family Timaliidae) or in a distinct family Paradoxornithidae, but it actually seems to belong to the Sylviidae.
It is found in Eastern Himalayas; Bangladesh, Bhutan, China (southern ), India, Laos, Myanmar, [[Thailand] and Vietnam.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The subspecies P. g. margaritae of southern Vietnam and eastern Cambodia is usually regarded as a separate species, the black-headed parrotbill or black-crowned parrotbill.
