Subspecies
Alcippe ruficapilla (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Spectacled Fulvetta (Fulvetta ruficapilla) and Indochinese Fulvetta (Fulvetta danisi) following Collar (2006).

Formerly treated as conspecific with Indochinese Fulvetta (Fulvetta danisi). Birds recorded in southern China (Yunnan and Guizhou) probably belong in present species on basis of range, but not yet compared with type of Indochinese Fulvetta (Fulvetta danisi).

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

ruficapilla (Verreaux, 1870) - Central China (southern Gansu and southern Shaanxi south to south-central and north-eastern Sichuan).
sordidior (Rippon, 1903) - Southern China (western and central Yunnan east to south-western Sichuan and western Guizhou).
