Subspecies
No subspecies.

Ficedula crypta (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Cryptic Flycatcher (Ficedula crypta) and Furtive Flycatcher (Ficedula disposita) following Dutson (1993).

Previously considered conspecific with Furtive Flycatcher (Ficedula disposita) and, often, with Lompobattang Flycatcher (Ficedula bonthaina), but differences significant. Birds on Mt Busa, in southern Mindanao, may represent a hitherto undescribed geographical subspecies.
