Cinereous Tit/ Japanese Tit

Latest comment: 6 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The links for Japanese Tit (Parus minor) seems to have been changed to lead to Cinereous Tit or Asian tit (Parus cinereus)

I will not correct it for fear of making a mistake in linking between articles. Could someone with the expertise please put things straight?

-- The article says " The Japanese tit was formerly treated as a separate species but is now lumped together with the cinereous tit.” however the appearance is considerably different. P. cinereous is monochrome, but P. minor looks much more like P. major. (Great tit which saysː " Until 2005 this species (Great tit) was lumped with numerous other subspecies. DNA studies have shown these other subspecies to be distinct from the great tit and these have now been separated as two distinct species, the cinereous tit(Parus cinereus) of southern Asia, and the Japanese tit (Parus minor) of East Asia."
