[edit] Taxonomy

The Simla Warbler is the westernmost subspecies P. chloronotus simlaensis which may be anything between a distinct species and invalid due to clinal variation (Alström 2006 [2]). Pale-rumped Warbler was until recently lumped with Pallas's Leaf Warbler, Chinese Leaf Warbler, and Gansu Leaf Warbler in Pallas's Warbler.

Both Pallas's Leaf Warbler and Pale-rumped Warbler have been named Lemon-rumped Leaf Warbler but by different authorities; Lemon-rumped Leaf Warbler is therefore a name that is best avoided due to the possible confusion.
