Hybridizes regularly with V. chrysoptera where breeding ranges overlap. Has hybridized also with Oporornis formosus (hybrid originally described as a new species, Helminthophaga cincinnatiensis; one of the two specimens of this pairing originally thought to have involved Oporornis philadelphia), and possibly with V. ruficapilla. Until recently, species known as V. pinus (see page 675). Monotypic.
