It was named by John James Audubon after his good British friend Thomas Stewart Traill.{{cite web |url=http://www.aboutorkney.com/ttraill00.html |title=About Orkney - Thomas Stewart Traill |website=www.aboutorkney.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160912144910/http://www.aboutorkney.com/ttraill00.html |archive-date=2016-09-12}}
It is now considered to be two distinct but closely related species, which are outwardly very similar but prefer differing habitats and replace each other geographically without significant hybridization:
- Alder flycatcher, Empidonax alnorum
- Willow flycatcher, Empidonax traillii proper
