Subspecies
No subspecies.

Genus often merged into Cercotrichas. Has been thought to form a superspecies with Forest Scrub-Robin (Tychaedon leucosticta), Bearded Scrub-Robin (Tychaedon quadrivirgata) and Brown Scrub-Robin (Tychaedon signata), and all recently separated by some authors in genus Tychaedon. Formerly treated as conspecific with Bearded Scrub-Robin (Tychaedon quadrivirgata) on basis of convergence of characters (apparently including vocal) in southern Zambia and western Tanzania, and still not fully clear that separate species status appropriate. Reported overlap in these areas requires documentation, although no evidence of hybridization and the two have distinct habitat preferences.
