Subspecies
Aquila pomarine (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Lesser Spotted Eagle (Clanga pomarina) and Indian Spotted Eagle (Clanga hastata) following Parry et al. (2002).

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Lesser Spotted Eagle (Clanga pomarina).

No subspecies.

Similar Species
In flight it shows rounder wings and is lighter, slimmer and less bulky than Greater Spotted Eagle (Clanga clanga). Greater-spotted has darker wing-coverts than flight feathers. In juvenile and subsequent subadult plumages, the pale spots on the upperwing coverts are smaller and contrast less from the ground colour of the upperwing coverts and flight feathers, than do those of Greater Spotted Eagle (Clanga clanga). It is however very similar to this species and not all individuals can be reliably identified.
