Ijima's Leaf-Warbler © pinterest.com

Morphology and voice suggest that this species' closest affinites are probably with Western Crowned Leaf-Warbler (Phylloscopus occipitalis). Was in the past sometimes considered to be a subspecies of Eastern Crowned Leaf-Warbler (Phylloscopus coronatus), or a derivative island subspecies of Pale-legged Leaf-Warbler (Phylloscopus tenellipes), but nesting preferences, vocalizations and DNA all indicate that it is a separate species.
