Subspecies
No subspecies.
Forms a superspecies with Petit's Cuckooshrike (Campephaga petiti) and Black Cuckooshrike (Campephaga flava). Where breeding range overlaps with that of Black Cuckooshrike (Campephaga flava) (in south-western Ethiopia and western Kenya), no intermediate males known. Extralimitally (in central and eastern Kenya), some females have extent of yellow in tail intermediate between that shown by present species and that of typical Black Cuckooshrike (Campephaga flava), suggesting possible incomplete genetic isolation.
