Bangwa Forest Warbler © oiseaux.net

Bradypterus cinnamomeus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Cinnamon Bracken-Warbler (Bradypterus cinnamomeus) and Bangwa Forest Warbler (Bradypterus bangwaensis) following Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993).

Probably part of the superspecies formed by Cinnamon Bracken-Warbler (Bradypterus cinnamomeus) and Barratt's Warbler (Bradypterus barratti). Formerly regarded as conspecific with Cinnamon Bracken-Warbler (Bradypterus cinnamomeus). Has also been treated as a subspecies of Cameroon Scrub-Warbler (Bradypterus lopezi) due to similarity in voice, but differs in habitat preference and tail morphology (rectrices broad, not narrow). All these species make up a group of similar Afrotropical sylviids of forest and forest edge.

Birds from Mt Oku may represent a distinct subspecies. Form described as "Bradypterus mariae manengubae" (Mt Manenguba, Cameroon), thus theoretically belonging to Cameroon Scrub-Warbler (Bradypterus lopezi), is probably a variant form of present species. Original species name "Bradypterus castaneus" is invalid, as preoccupied.
