Description
These birds are small, weighing 6–8 g (0.21–0.28 oz) and are 8.5–10 cm (3.3–3.9 in) long. The males are vibrantly colored, with distinctive blue-mauve underparts. Both males and females have a light brown crown and white supercilium (eyebrow). The rump and upper tail-coverts are violet blue. Females are generally duller, and can be distinguished by their pale underparts, whereas the males have violet-blue underparts and chest. The tail is relatively long.

Feeding Habits
White-browed Tit-warbler primarily consume small insects and spiders, foraging vigorously on the ground and underneath roots and rocks. Occasionally, they catch insects in flight. During colder months, their diet includes seeds and berries. Chicks are exclusively fed insect matter.
Habitat
White-browed Tit-warbler inhabits montane forests, shrublands, and thickets across mountainous regions. These birds favor dry areas above the treeline, selecting habitats within a broad elevational range of approximately 2,000–5,000 meters. White-browed Tit-warbler is adapted to cold climates, frequenting juniper and spruce scrublands, especially where juniper is prostrate or forms impenetrable thickets on steep slopes. During non-breeding seasons, they descend to thickets of rose, Prunus, and Elaeagnus, often preferring south-facing slopes and areas near water. In winter, some populations move to lower elevations, including valley thickets and foothills.

Behavior
White-browed tit-warblers generally live in pairs during the breeding season, but will join flocks of 25 or more individuals at the end of the season. During winter these flocks may become multi-species.
Distribution Area
The white-browed tit-warbler prefers dry mountainous shrubland between 2,000–5,000 m (6,600–16,400 ft). It ranges in the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, and much of Northwest China. They tend to disperse to lower elevations during the winter. A 2016 paper determined that they belonged to a "Middle-mountainous forest steppe community" within the Tian Shan mountain range. A study within Karakoram National Park found that they were uncommon residents, and that there was a winter influx of population.
