Subspecies
No subspecies.
Recent genetic studies suggest that Tennessee Warbler (Leiothlypis peregrina ), Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata ), Nashville Warbler (Leiothlypis ruficapilla ), Virginia's Warbler (Leiothlypis virginiae ), Colima Warbler (Leiothlypis crissalis ) and Lucy's Warbler (Leiothlypis luciae ) form a clade, separate from the two other current congeners, and should be placed in a separate genus, for which the name Leiothlypis has been proposed. Flame-throated Warbler (Oreothlypis gutturalis ) and Crescent-chested Warbler (Oreothlypis superciliosa ) appear to be sister to this group.
Forms a superspecies with Nashville Warbler (Leiothlypis ruficapilla ), sometimes with Colima Warbler (Leiothlypis crissalis ) also included and all have been considered conspecific, but such an arrangement not generally accepted.
