Taxonomy
There is a proposal for splitting this species into four which so far has been followed only by IOC and Birdlife International; Opus is waiting for more authorities to agree before following suit. The four groups are:
- Garrulax e. erythrocephalus (Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrush)
- Includes erythrocephalus, nigrimentum, imprudens, kali, and forresti (not all resources recognize imprudens and/or forresti)
- Garrulax e. chrysopterus (Assam Laughingthrush)
- Includes chrysopterus, godwini, erythrolaemus, woodi, (and according to some sources ailaoshanensis)
- Garrulax e. melanostigma (Silver-eared Laughingthrush)
- Includes melanostigma, ramsayi, schistaceus, connectens, subconnectens
- Garrulax e. peninsulae (Malayan Laughingthrush)
- Includes only peninsulae
