Subspecies
Often considered conspecific with White-throated Fantail (Rhipidura albicollis), on basis of intergradation in north-eastern India, but this is demonstrated by only a handful of hybrid specimens and the two occupy different habitats. Relationships with other members of the genus unclear. It has been suggested that White-bellied Fantail (Rhipidura euryura) and Spotted Fantail (Rhipidura perlata) may be close relatives, but there is little evidence to support such affinities.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

albogularis (Lesson, 1831) - Peninsular India (southern from southern Rajasthan and west-central Madhya Pradesh).
vernayi (Whistler, 1931) - Eastern India (southern Orissa, north-eastern Andhra Pradesh).
