Taxonomy update for 2022
The polytypic group White-rumped Shama (White-crowned) Copsychus malabaricus stricklandii/barbouri, with subspecies stricklandii and barbouri, is recognized as a separate species, White-crowned Shama Copsychus stricklandii, based on its distinct plumage and the demonstration of almost no nuclear admixture and introgression between the two forms despite a narrow hybrid zone (Lim et al. 2017).

We add a newly described subspecies of White-rumped Shama,
Copsychus malabaricus ngae Wu and Rheindt 2022, with range
“islands on the west side of the Thai-Malay Peninsula (from the
Thai/Myanmar border south to the Langkawi archipelago at the
Thai/Malayasian border)” (Wu and Rheindt 2022). Insert subspecies ngae
immediately following subspecies macrourus. We also recognize this
subspecies as a new monotypic group, White-rumped Shama (Long-tailed)
Copsychus malabaricus ngae. :
- White-rumped Shama (Copsychus malabaricus)
- White-crowned Shama (Copsychus stricklandii)
