Sterrhoptilus is a songbird genus recently separated from Stachyris. It used to be placed in the family Timaliidae. With other "Old World babblers" of the genus Yuhina, it was recently determined to be better placed in the family Zosteropidae.
The genus contains the following four species:[2]
- Rusty-crowned babbler, Sterrhoptilus capitalis
- Golden-crowned babbler, Sterrhoptilus dennistouni
- Calabarzon babbler, Sterrhoptilus affinis – split from S. nigrocapitatus
- Visayan babbler, Sterrhoptilus nigrocapitatus
