Subspecies
No subspecies.

Forms a superspecies with Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea), Chestnut-vented Nuthatch (Sitta nagaensis), Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch (Sitta castanea), Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch (Sitta cinnamoventris) and Burmese Nuthatch (Sitta neglecta). Intermediate in many respects between Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) and Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch (Sitta castanea)/Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch (Sitta cinnamoventris) and has often been treated as conspecific with one or other of these, but differs in vocalizations and plumage (especially undertail-coverts). Occurs within 5 km of Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch (Sitta cinnamoventris) in northern Pakistan (Murree Hills). One alarm call (like that of Garrulus jay) and nest construction suggest possible affinity with Western Rock Nuthatch (Sitta neumayer) and Eastern Rock-Nuthatch (Sitta tephronota).
