This Tit (Black-throated Tit- Aegithalos concinnus) is very sociable, restless & fussy, invariably found in flocks with other birds like leaf warblers, tree creepers, other Tits, White eyes etc. Mainly eats insects, but also tiny seeds & fruits.

Dear Mr Garg,
It is very likely Picea Smithiana, Himalayan Spruce.

Cedar needles are in a bunch and the cones upright.

Thanks.
Ashwini

Thanks Mr. Garg. It's definitely not Cedrus deodara. The needles are individually arranged in a spiral and cones are drooping, both diagnostic of spruce. Please check. 

The link you sent also validates spruce as the most likely candidate.

Ashwini

Thanks, Ashwini ji,

You are perfectly right.

I do not know why I got so confused.
