Very similar to A. caudata ; but both sexes have the sides of the 

 crown of the head and the occiput more or less brownish black, the 

 white colour being restricted to the centre of the crown, the frontal, 

 loral, and nasal regions ; the imdorparts are never pure white, but 

 always show a slight dull tinge ; and the breast and sides of neck 

 have a few little brownish spots. Sexes exactly alike in plumage. 

 The measurements are the same as those oi A. caudata. Eyelids 

 orange. 



The Common Long-tailed Titmouse is the representative of the 

 long-tailed Titmice in the British Isles, the Netherlands, France, 

 and parts of Western Germany ; in Northern Italy it meets with 

 A. irbii.
