Subspecies
Forms superspecies with Coqui Francolin (Peliperdix coqui) and Schlegel's Francolin (Peliperdix schlegelii). Recently proposed reorganization of Francolinus places present species in genus Peliperdix with Coqui Francolin (Peliperdix coqui), Schlegel's Francolin (Peliperdix schlegelii), Forest Francolin (Peliperdix lathami) and Crested Francolin (Dendroperdix sephaena). Doubtfully valid subspecies meinertzhageni and gambagae included respectively in dewittei and buckleyi.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • albogularis (Hartlaub, 1854)   -  Senegambia to Ivory Coast.
  • buckleyi (Ogilvie-Grant, 1892)   -  Eastern Ivory Coast east to Cameroon.
  • dewittei (Chapin, 1937)   -  South-eastern Zaire, north-western Zambia and eastern Angola.
