The gray-crested titmouse is a small bird from the tit family. It has a tall gray crest on its head, gray plumage, and a short sturdy beak.
The gray-crested titmouse differs from related species by its long gray crest and life in high mountains. It is beneficial for the forest because it destroys harmful insects.
