Close relationship to S. albescens and S. albigularis suggested by plumage and vocal similarities. In the past was considered conspecific with S. hypospodia; the two are thought to be possibly sister-species by some authors, but others consider them not closely related because of differences in tail morphology, throat pattern and voice. Monotypic.
