The chestnut-bellied tit was first described by the English ornithologist John Gould in 1863 and given the binomial name Parus castaneoventris.[2] It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the varied tit but was promoted to species status after the publication of a phylogenetic study in 2014.[3][4]
The species differs from the varied tit in having underparts of a deep chestnut colour.[5]
