This species was traditionally included in genus Seiurus along with the Ovenbird (S. aurocapilla). However recent studies of mitochondrial DNA suggested that this species and the related Louisiana Waterthrush (S. motacilla) are not closely related to the Ovenbird and were placed in a separate genus Parkesia.
