Przevalski's Nuthatch
Sitta przewalskii Berezowski & Bianchi, 1891
Sittidae — Nuthatches
Przevalski's Nuthatch, Sitta przewalskii, is a nuthatch in the family Sittidae that breeds in southeastern Tibet and west central China. It was described by Berezowski & Bianchi in 1891. Once treated as part of the white-cheeked nuthatch, it is now recognised as distinct and is set apart by differences in form and voice. Its breeding range includes eastern Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan, where it occurs in coniferous montane forest of spruce and fir. It is endemic to this part of the Palearctic.
