The Black-browed Tit (Aegithalos bonvaloti) is a species of bird in the Aegithalidae family. It is found inChina and Burma. Its natural habitats are boreal forests and temperate forests. It was formerly considered conspecific with the Rufous-fronted Tit (A. iouschistos) of the central and eastern Himalayas but is now often regarded as a separate species. Sometimes the subspecies A. b. sharpei (Burmese Tit) of western Burma is also treated as a species.
It is a small, long-tailed bird, 11–12 cm long. It has grey upperparts, rufous breast and flanks and a white belly. The head is buff with a broad black mask, white forehead and a white bib, speckled black in the centre. The Burmese Tit has white rather than buff on the head, a dark breastband and a buff belly.
