Subspecies
Forms superspecies with Erckel's Francolin (Pternistis erckelii), Djibouti Francolin (Pternistis ochropectus), Chestnut-naped Francolin (Pternistis castaneicollis) and Handsome Francolin (Pternistis nobilis). Recently proposed reorganization of Francolinus places present species in genus Pternistis with 23 other species. Birds of Mt Kenya have been ascribed to subspecies pollenorum and those of the Cherangani Hills to subspecies patriciae, but neither of these subspecies is generally accepted.
