Monteiro's Bush-shrike © oiseaux.net

Barely known in Cameroon, where supposedly larger-billed and yellower subspecies perspicillatus may be only a colour morph of Green-breasted Bush-Shrike (Malaconotus gladiator). Historical specimen from Kivu, in eastern DRCongo, cautiously attributed to perspicillatus; single specimen (now lost) from Kakamega, in south-western Kenya, resembled both nominate subspecies of present species and subspecies catharoxanthus of Grey-headed Bush-shrike (Malaconotus blanchoti).

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

• perspicillatus (Reichenow, 1894)   -  South-western Cameroon (Mt Cameroon).
• monteiri (Sharpe, 1870)   -  North-western Angola (Cuanza Norte, Cuanza Sul, possibly Huambo); possibly also extreme northern Namibia.
