Subspecies
Affinities uncertain. Geographical variation trivial, and some named subspecies considered untenable; thus, griseiloris (from south-eastern Yunnan and Guizhou east to Taiwan) is synonymized with tyrannulus, and sordida (eastern Thailand and southern Indochina) and interposita (Peninsular Malaysia) with nominate.

The following 8 subspecies are recognised:

zantholeuca (Blyth, 1844) - Nepal, Bhutan, all north-eastern Indian states, eastern Bangladesh, southern China (western and southern Yunnan), and throughout south-eastern Asia (except for northern and south-eastern Thailand and northern Indochina).
tyrannulus Swinhoe, 1870 - South-eastern China (south-eastern Yunnan and southern Guizhou east to Jiangxi and Fujian, including Hainan and Hong Kong), Taiwan, northern Thailand and northern Indochina.
canescens Delacour & Jabouille, 1928 - South-eastern Thailand and south-western Cambodia.
saani Chasen, 1939 - North-western Sumatra.
brunnescens Sharpe, 1876 - Borneo, including Pulau Laut (off south-eastern coast).
griseiloris Stresemann, 1923 - South-eastern China (Fujian, Guangdong, western Guangxi, south-eastern Yunnan); Taiwan.
sordida Robinson & Kloss, 1919 - Extreme eastern plateau of Thailand to southern Indochina.
