Taxonomy and systematics
Bower's shrikethrush was originally described in 1885 by Edward Pierson Ramsay, curator of the Australian Museum in Sydney. The specific name boweri honors Thomas Henry Bowyer-Bower, curator of ornithology at the Western Australian Museum at the time. The genus name Colluricincla comes from the Greek kollurion ("a bird") and the Latin cinclus ("thrush").{{cite journal |last1=Kloot |first1=T. |year=2000 |title=The biography behind the bird (no. 15 in the series.)
