Until recently regarded as conspecific with T. chrysopterum, T. melanostigma, T. peninsulae and even T. ngoclinhense; race woodi of T. chrysopterum was initially retained in present species. Races kali and nigrimentum intergrade, but latter is highly distinct and situation merits further research, although vocal differences apparently minor based on available recordings. Proposed race imprudens (from hills of Assam N & E of R Brahmaputra) is indistinguishable from latter. Three subspecies recognized.Subspecies
