Subspecies
No subspecies.

Relationships uncertain. Has been considered conspecific with Island Leaf-Warbler (Phylloscopus poliocephalus) and both previously thought to form a superspecies with Mountain Warbler (Phylloscopus trivirgatus), Sulawesi Leaf-Warbler (Phylloscopus sarasinorum) and Timor Leaf-Warbler (Phylloscopus presbytes), but this treatment is not supported by findings from recent molecular-genetic studies. Detailed review of all leaf-warbler taxa in Indonesia, Wallacea, New Guinea and Solomon Is may lead to considerable changes from present arrangement.
