Possibly part of the superspecies formed by Long-tailed Shrike (Lanius schach) and Grey-backed Shrike (Lanius tephronotus), being very similar to Grey-backed Shrike (Lanius tephronotus), especially in plumage.

Proposed subspecies quartus (from Duminagat, Mt Malindang, on Mindanao) considered synonymous with hachisuka.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • validirostris Ogilvie-Grant, 1894   -  Northern Luzon (Cordillera and northern Sierra Madre), in northern Philippines.
  • tertius Salomonsen, 1953   -  Northern Mindoro (Mt Halcon and Mt Dulungan), in north-central Philippines.
  • hachisuka Ripley, 1949   -  Mindanao (Mt Malindang, mountains of Misamis Oriental, Mt Kitanglad and Civolig, Mt Apo), in southern Philippines.
