Proposed subspecies amadoni (from Rumpi Hills, in western Cameroon) considered insufficiently distinct from tephrolaemus, differing from latter only in slightly smaller size. Description of pujoli (from Guinea) is based on a juvenile specimen of nominate subspecies.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

• rectirostris (Shaw, 1812)   -  Extreme southern Mali, Sierra Leone and eastern and south-eastern Guinea east to Ghana.
• tephrolaemus (Jardine & Fraser, 1852)   -  South-eastern Benin and southern Nigeria east, including Bioko I (Fernando Póo), to southern Central African Republic, DRCongo, southern Uganda and western Kenya, south to north-western Angola and north-western Tanzania. Also southern Sudan (Imatong Mts). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Grey-chinned Sunbird (Anthreptes tephrolaemus).
