Taxonomy: Muscicapa pyrhoptera Temminck, 1836, Borneo.
Relationships of genus uncertain: has been considered, on grounds of DNA-DNA hybridization, to belong with the vangas in the family Vangidae, and also linked with the bush-shrikes in Malaconotidae; more refined molecular analyses currently being undertaken in order to elucidate its true affinities. Two subspecies recognized.
