Subspecies
Distinctive eastern African subspecies taeniolaema and hausburgi were formerly considered to form a separate species, and wide geographical separation suggests this might be more appropriate. However, close structural similarity supports conspecific treatment.

Proposed subspecies bansoensis and wellsi (Banso Mts, western Cameroon) and insularis (Bioko) are indistinguishable from nominate; barakae (mountains of eastern Zaire) inseparable from taeniolaema.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • tullbergi (Sjöstedt, 1892)   -  South-eastern Nigeria (Obudu Plateau), western Cameroon and Bioko I (Fernando Póo).
  • taeniolaema Reichenow & Neumann, 1895   -  Extreme eastern Zaire and south-western and eastern Uganda to western Kenyan highlands, south to western Rwanda, Burundi and extreme western Tanzania (Mt Mahari). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Fine-banded Woodpecker (Campethera taeniolaema).
  • hausburgi Sharpe, 1900   -  Kenya east of Rift Valley, also extreme northern Tanzania (Loliondo).
