Northern Parula © featheredfocus.com

Vagrant to Faroe Islands, France, Germany, Greenland, Ireland, United Kingdom.

A study of mitochondrial DNA has suggested that genus as currently constituted is not monophyletic, with present species and Tropical Parula (Setophaga pitiayumi) closer to Dendroica, and Flame-throated Warbler (Oreothlypis gutturalis) and Crescent-chested Warbler (Oreothlypis superciliosa) closer to Vermivora. Has hybridized with Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica), as well as with American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) and Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata). Forms a superspecies with Tropical Parula (Setophaga pitiayumi) and sometimes regarded as conspecific, but the two differ in migratory behaviour and in some plumage characters.

North-eastern populations proposed as subspecies pusilla (described from Pennsylvania) and western ones as subspecies ludoviciana (from Mississippi Valley). Both generally considered insufficiently differentiated to warrant recognition.
