Taxonomy and systematics
[edit]Some authorities have considered the drab whistler as several subspecies of the rufous whistler.
Subspecies
[edit]Five subspecies are recognized:[2]
- P. g. lineolata - Wallace, 1863, 1876: Originally described as a separate species. Found on Peleng and Sula Islands
- P. g. cinerascens - Salvadori, 1878: Originally described as a separate species. Found on southern Lau Islands
- P. g. examinata - Hartert, 1898: Originally described as a separate species. Found on Buru (southern Moluccas)

- P. g. kuehni - Hartert, 1898: Originally described as a separate species. Found on the Kai Islands
Additionally, some authorities consider the cinnamon-breasted whistler to also be a subspecies of the drab whistler (as P. g. johni).[3]
