Subspecies
Bradypterus cinnamomeus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Cinnamon Bracken-warbler (Bradypterus cinnamomeus) and Bangwa Warbler (Bradypterus bangwaensis) following Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993).

Forms a superspecies with Barratt's Warbler (Bradypterus barratti) and, probably, Bangwa Warbler (Bradypterus bangwaensis). Formerly treated as conspecific with Bangwa Warbler (Bradypterus bangwaensis). These species and Evergreen-forest Warbler (Bradypterus lopezi) make up a group of similar Afrotropical sylviids of forest and forest edge. Subspecies ufipae of Evergreen-forest Warbler (Bradypterus lopezi) was in the past sometimes treated within present species.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

  • cinnamomeus (Rüppell, 1840)   -  Highlands of Ethiopia, eastern DRCongo (except Ruwenzori Mts), south-western and eastern Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, west, central and south-eastern Kenya, and northern Tanzania (Kilimanjaro, Crater Highlands).
  • cavei Macdonald, 1939   -  South-eastern Sudan (Imatong Mts, Dongatona Mts) and north-eastern Uganda (Mt Morongole).
