Molecular phylogenetic studies published in 2010 and 2012 found that the genus Cercomela was polyphyletic with five species, including the familiar chat, phylogenetically nested within the genus Oenanthe. [7] [8] As part of a reorganization of the species to create monophyletic genera, the familiar chat was moved to the genus Oenanthe. [9]
