Subspecies
Forms a superspecies with Grace's Warbler (Setophaga graciae), Adelaide's Warbler (Setophaga adelaidae), Barbuda Warbler (Setophaga subita) and St Lucia Warbler (Setophaga delicata). Isolated subspecies flavescens quite distinctive, and some authors have suggested that it may merit full species rank. In contrast, some recent work has suggested that the three mainland subspecies are so weakly differentiated, with variation primarily clinal, that they should be combined as one.

Proposed subspecies axantha (described from Ohio) considered inseparable from albilora. Hybridization with Northern Parula (Setophaga americana) recorded.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

albilora (Ridgway, 1873) - Breeds east-central USA from eastern Iowa, south-eastern Kansas and central Texas east to Appalachians; migrates to Middle America (mainly eastern Mexico south to Nicaragua, casually Costa Rica).
dominica (Linnaeus, 1766) - Breeds east of Appalachians from Pennsylvania south to central Florida. Winters in south-eastern USA (South Carolina south to Florida) and Caribbean (mainly Bahamas and Greater Antilles).
stoddardi (Sutton, 1951) - North-western Florida and coastal Alabama.
flavescens Todd, 1909 - Northern Bahama Is (Grand Bahama and Great Abaco).
