Subspecies
Was formerly often considered conspecific with Brown Accentor (Prunella fulvescens) and/or Arabian Accentor (Prunella fagani), but appears more closely allied to Black-throated Accentor (Prunella atrogularis), with which it shares some features and perhaps constitutes a superspecies and all four belong to a species group that also includes Siberian Accentor (Prunella montanella) and Mongolian Accentor (Prunella koslowi).

No subspecies.
