Has affinities with the large Grey-green Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus purpuratus) species-group. Considered to be most closely allied to Coroneted Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus coronulatus). Subspecies hardly differ and doubtfully valid.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

  • pulchellus (Temminck, 1835)   -  Western Papuan Is and New Guinea (except north-central).
  • decorus (Madarász, 1910)   -  Northern New Guinea from eastern shore of Geelvink Bay east to Astrolabe Bay.
