Subspecies
No subspecies.

Amami Thrush (Zoothera major), Scaly Thrush (Zoothera dauma) and Horsfield's Thrush (Zoothera horsfieldi) (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) have been lumped into Zoothera dauma following Collar (2004). Sri Lanka Thrush (Zoothera imbricata) from Sri Lanka, previously considered a subspecies of Scaly Thrush (Zoothera dauma) following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993), is treated as a distinct species following Rasmussen and Anderton (2005). The BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group follows Collar (2004, 2005) in differing from Sangster et al. (1998) and Rasmussen and Anderton (2005), by retaining aurea and neilgherriensis as subspecies of Scaly Thrush (Zoothera dauma), pending review.

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Scaly Thrush (Zoothera dauma).
