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)
