Taxonomy

The western bearded greenbul was formally described and illustrated in 1821 by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck from a specimen collected in Sierra Leone. He coined the binomial name Trichophorus barbatus.

Formerly, some authorities considered the eastern bearded greenbul as conspecific with the western bearded greenbul.
