This species was previously placed in the genus Rhinomyias but was moved to Cyornis based on the results of a 2010 molecular phylogenetic study. It is now placed in the genus Eumyias.[2][3] The Sumba jungle flycatcher (C. stresemanni), which is endemic to the island of Sumba, was split as distinct species by the IOC in 2021.[4] Both species were known together as the russet-backed jungle flycatcher.
