The aberrant bush warbler was formally described in 1845 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth based on a specimen collected in Nepal. He placed the species in the genus Neornis and coined the binomial name Neornis flavolivacea.[4][5] The specific epithet flavolivaceus combines the Latin flavus meaning "yellow" with the Modern Latin olivaceus meaning "olive-green".[6] The aberrant bush warbler is now placed in the genus Horornis that was introduced in 1845 by Brian Hodgson.[7]
Thirteen subspecies are recognised:[7]
The last eight subspecies in the above list have sometimes been considered as a separate species, the Sunda bush warbler Horornis vulcanius.[7][8]
