Subspecies
Forms a species pair with Louisiana Waterthrush (Parkesia motacilla) and sometimes regarded as constituting a superspecies, but overlap in ranges occurs in southern Canada (southern Ontario) and north-eastern USA. Reported hybrid with Blackpoll Warbler (Setophaga striata) now thought probably to have been with Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina). Birds from Newfoundland described as subspecies uliginosus, but considered inseparable from nominate.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • notabilis (Gmelin, 1789)   -  Breeds from Alaska and north-western Canada south to north-western USA (east-central Oregon to extreme north-western Wyoming), and east to northern Ontario and Great Lakes.
  • limnaeus McCabe and A. H. Miller, 1933   -  Breeds central British Columbia (western Canada).
  • noveboracensis (J. F. Gmelin, 1789)   -  Breeds south-eastern Canada (eastern Ontario east to Newfoundland) and north-eastern USA (south to northern West Virginia).
