Forms a superspecies with Rosy Minivet (Pericrocotus roseus) and Ashy Minivet (Pericrocotus divaricatus). Often considered conspecific with Rosy Minivet (Pericrocotus roseus), primarily because the two apparently interbreed in southern China (southern Guangdong), where a small, possibly now stable, population with mixed characters occurs in Xijiang Valley (this population initially described as a separate species, Pericrocotus stanfordi, and subsequently often regarded as a subspecies of Rosy Minivet (Pericrocotus roseus)). On the other hand, no sign of hybridization where ranges closely approach each other or overlap elsewhere in southern China, and zone of occurrence of "stanfordi" is sufficiently restricted to suggest that the parent forms now behave as separate species. Further study is required.
