Subspecies
Formerly placed with Gerygone in family Acanthizidae, but external morphology (particularly the vertical white wing mark) and some behavioural traits indicate close affinities with Australasian robins of genus Petroica. Subspecific identity of populations in Kumawa and Foja Mts uncertain.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

rubra (Sharpe, 1879) - Arfak Mts, in north-western New Guinea.
saturatior Mayr, 1931 - Mountains of west, central and south-eastern New Guinea (eastern from Weyland Mts).
