Subspecies
No subspecies.
White Wagtail (Motacilla alba) and Black-backed Wagtail (Motacilla lugens) (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) have been lumped into Motacilla alba following AOU (2005). Motacilla alba (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) was split by Sangster et al. (1998) into White Wagtail (Motacilla alba), Himalayan Wagtail (Motacilla alboides), Baikal Wagtail (Motacilla baicalensis), Amur Wagtail (Motacilla leucopsis), East Siberian Wagtail (Motacilla ocularis), Masked Wagtail (Motacilla personata) and Moroccan Wagtail (Motacilla subpersonata) but this treatment is not followed by the BirdLife Taxonomic Working Group because no vocal, morphological or phylogenetic evidence is provided by Sangster et al. (1998) and Alström et al. (2003) notes that all contiguously distributed subspecies of White Wagtail (Motacilla alba) interbreed. Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993) and Sangster et al. (1998) also split Afghan Snowfinch (Pyrgilauda theresae) from White Wagtail (Motacilla alba) but these taxa are also lumped following AOU (2005).
Considered by some authors as a subspecies of White Wagtail (Motacilla alba).
Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of White Wagtail (Motacilla alba).
