Subspecies
No subspecies.

Cyornis banyumas (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Hill Blue-Flycatcher (Cyornis banyumas) and Large Blue-Flycatcher (Cyornis magnirostris) following Renner et al. (2009) who point out parapatric (and possibly sympatric) breeding between whitei of Hill Blue-Flycatcher (Cyornis banyumas) and Large Blue-Flycatcher (Cyornis magnirostris), strong migratory habit in magnirostris which is weak or absent in banyumas and a number of morphological differences between the two taxa.

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Hill Blue-Flycatcher (Cyornis banyumas).
