Taxonomy

The dark-throated oriole was formerly considered to be conspecific with the ventriloquial oriole (Oriolus consobrinus).[2] The dark-throated oriole is sometimes considered to form a superspecies with the Philippine oriole and the Isabela oriole.[3] Alternate names for the dark-throated oriole include the black-headed oriole, black-throated oriole and Malaysian oriole. The alternate name 'black-headed oriole' should not be confused with the species of the same name, Oriolus larvatus.

Two subspecies are recognized:[2]
