Gray Tit

Melaniparus afer

The grey tit (Melaniparus afer) is a species of bird in the family Paridae.

It is found in Lesotho and South Africa.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation.

The grey tit was formerly one of the many species in the genus Parus but was moved to Melaniparus after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 showed that the members of the new genus formed a distinct clade.
