Sultan Tit
Melanochlora sultanea
The sultan tit is an Asian forest bird with black upperparts plumage and yellow underparts, dark bill, and a yellow or black crest. The sexes are similar, though the female has slightly duller plumage with greenish-black upperparts and throat. The young bird is duller than the adult and has a shorter crest. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Melanochlora, which is fairly distinct from other tits, third-basal in the family Paridae after Cephalopyrus and Sylviparus.
