Subspecies
Seicercus xanthoschistos (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) is placed in the genus Phylloscopus following Olsson et al. (2005). Geographical variation somewhat clinal, plumage becoming paler from east to west. Subspecies albosuperciliaris and jerdoni often treated as synonyms of nominate.
Proposed subspecies pulla (described from Mishmi Hills, in north-eastern India) merged with flavogularis. Birds from south-eastern Xizang (in extreme southern China) of uncertain racial identity, tentatively included in last-mentioned subspecies.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

albosuperciliaris (Jerdon, 1863) - Northern Pakistan (eastern from Kohat), Kashmir and northern India east to western Nepal.

xanthoschistos (Gray, 1846) - Western and central Nepal.

jerdoni (Brooks, WE, 1871) - Eastern Nepal and extreme southern China (southern Xizang) east, including Bhutan, to north-eastern India (east to Arunachal Pradesh).

flavogularis (Godwin-Austen, 1877) - North-eastern India (Abor and Mishmi Hills, in Assam), extreme southern China (south-eastern Xizang) and northern Myanmar.

tephrodiras (Sick, 1939) - North-eastern India (southern Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur) and western and south-western Myanmar (Chin Hills).
