White-tailed Nuthatch © oiseaux.net

Affinities within genus uncertain. Formerly considered conspecific with White-browed Nuthatch (Sitta victoriae) on grounds of common character of white in central tail feathers, but otherwise morphologically distinct and both occur on Mt Victoria (Myanmar), although probably separated altitudinally. Suggested also as being close to Pygmy Nuthatch (Sitta pygmaea) and Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla), and relationship with these two supported by possibility that partners may duet. Alternatively, strongly developed black eyestripe and uniform undertail-coverts may indicate affinity with Yunnan Nuthatch (Sitta yunnanensis). Birds from Lushai Hills (Mizoram), in north-eastern India, described as subspecies lushaiensis on basis of somewhat paler underside, but variation slight and naming of geographical subspecies considered unwarranted.
