About Mexican Chickadee (Poecile sclateri)
- Kingdom: Animals
- Phylum: Chordates
- Class: Birds
- Order: Perching Birds
- Family: Chickadees and Titmice
The Mexican chickadee is a small songbird, a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is still often placed in the genus Parus with most other tits, but mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data and morphology suggest that separating Poecile more adequately expresses these birds' relationships. The American Ornithologists' Union had been treating Poecile as distinct genus for some time already.
