Subspecies
Seems to be closer to Yellow-bellied Gerygone (Gerygone chrysogaster) or Large-billed Gerygone (Gerygone magnirostris) than to the Grey Gerygone (Gerygone igata) superspecies. Has sometimes been considered conspecific with Plain Gerygone (Gerygone inornata), but probably not closely related.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

senex Meise, 1929 - Islands of Kalaotoa and Madu, north of Flores (Lesser Sundas).
fulvescens Meyer, AB, 1884 - Eastern Lesser Sundas (Romang, Kisar, Leti, Moa, Sermata, Babar).
kuehni Hartert, 1900 - Damar I (eastern Lesser Sundas).
dorsalis Sclater, 1883 - Tanimbar Is.
keyensis B�ttikofer, 1893 - Kai Is (including Tayandu Group).
