African Yellow Warbler (Iduna natalensis) [XC527097]
     by id from Nanja dam,Monduli, Arusha Region, Tanzania (song)

Subspecies
Genus generally considered as having affinities with Acrocephalus and Hippolais. This species usually regarded as forming a species pair with Mountain Yellow Warbler (Iduna similis), and both were formerly treated as flycatchers (Muscicapidae). Relationship with the more obviously Acrocephalus-like Papyrus Yellow Warbler (Calamonastides gracilirostris) requires further study.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

  • batesi (Sharpe, 1905)   -  Nigeria east to northern DRCongo and south-western Sudan.
  • massaica (Fischer, GA & Reichenow, 1884)   -  Western and southern Ethiopia, south-eastern Sudan, north-eastern DRCongo, Uganda, western and southern Kenya, and north-western and north-eastern Tanzania.
  • major (Hartert, 1904)   -  Gabon east to southern DRCongo (east to Maniema and south to Katanga), south to Angola (south to Benguela, northern Huí­la and southern Lunda Sul) and northern Zambia.
  • natalensis (Smith, 1847)   -  Southern Tanzania, Malawi, southern Zambia, northern and eastern Zimbabwe, north-western and western Mozambique, eastern South Africa (eastern northern Province south to central eastern Cape) and Swaziland.
