This species was formerly considered as a subspecies of the white-browed shortwing, now the Javan shortwing (Brachypteryx montana). The white-browed shortwing was split into five separate species based on the deep genetic difference between the populations[2][3] coupled with the significant differences in plumage and vocalization.[4][5] The Flores shortwing is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[5]
