The yellow-cheeked tit (Machlolophus spilonotus) is a species of bird in the family Paridae.
It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China , Hong Kong, India , Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
The yellow-cheeked tit was formerly one of the many species in the genus Parus but was moved to Machlolophus after a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 showed that the members of the new genus formed a distinct clade.[2][3]
