Subspecies
No subspecies.

Genus considered closest to Dendroica, and some authors have suggested that it be subsumed in latter. Probably close also to Mniotilta. Has hybridized with Northern Parula (Setophaga americana) and probably also with Nashville Warbler (Leiothlypis ruficapilla). Western breeding birds described as a geographical subspecies, tricolor, but generally considered inseparable from those elsewhere in species' range.
