Subspecies
No subspecies.

Mirafra assamica (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Bengal Bushlark (Mirafra assamica), Jerdon's Bushlark (Mirafra affinis), Burmese Bushlark (Mirafra microptera) and Indochinese Bushlark (Mirafra erythrocephala) following Alström (1998).

Specific name frequently given as marionae, but that is predated by present name. Relationship with African congeners unknown. Recently split from Bengal Bushlark (Mirafra assamica) on basis mainly of pronounced differences in vocalizations, song flight, other behaviour, habitat choice and cytochrome b gene sequences (14·8%); equally large genetic (respectively, 13·7% and 11·7%) and vocal differences from Jerdon's Bushlark (Mirafra affinis) and Burmese Bushlark (Mirafra microptera), both of which were also previously considered conspecific with Bengal Bushlark (Mirafra assamica). Birds from north-western Thailand sometimes separated as subspecies subsessor.
