Formerly considered conspecific with Spotted Bush-Warbler (Locustella thoracica), but differs vocally, morphologically and in migratory behaviour.

Proposed subspecies shanensis, described from specimens in non-breeding range (Myanmar), now considered to refer to suschkini, with which therefore synonymized; characters of stresemanni, described from south-eastern Russia (Amurland), fall within range of variation of nominate.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

• suschkini (Stegmann, 1929)   -  Breeds in south-central Siberia from Altai east to south-western Transbaikalia. Non-breeding south-eastern Asia (probably Myanmar and Thailand).
• davidi (La Touche, 1923)   -  Breeds south-eastern Russia (south-eastern Transbaikalia east to western Amurland) and north-eastern China (south to northern Hubei). Non-breeding south-eastern Asia (probably northern Indochina).
• shanensis Ticehurst, 1941   -  Mountains of northern Myanmar. Winters to lowlands of Thailand.
