The '''azure tit''' (''Cyanistes cyanus'') is a small species of passerine bird of the family Paridae, and found over eastern Europe across much of central Asia to the Pacific.
==Description==
The Azure tit is up to 5.2 inches long, with a wingspan of 7.3 inches, and weighs about 0.4 ounces. Their plumage is white-blue, with black eye stripes on a white head. The belly is white, as is a wide band on the wing covers. Males and females are similar. Hybrids between closely-related species have also been recorded in the wild<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Lukasz-Lawicki/publication/264914009_Azure_Tits_and_hybrids_Azure_x_European_Blue_Tit_in_Europe/links/53f5f3e70cf22be01c3fc220/Azure-Tits-and-hybrids-Azure-x-European-Blue-Tit-in-Europe.pdf</ref>.
===Subspecies===
*''Cyanistes cyanus cyanus''; Russia: European portion to basin of middle Volga River
*''Cyanistes cyanus hyperrhiphaeus''; Russia: European portion to western Siberia and northern Kazakhstan
*''Cyanistes cyanus koktalensis''; Kazakhstan: southeastern lowlands (south of Lake Balkhash)
*''Cyanistes cyanus tianschanicus''; southeastern Kazakhstan to northwestern China, Manchuria and Pakistan
*''Cyanistes cyanus yenisseensis''; southeastern Siberia to Sea of Japan and lower Amur River
