Subspecies
No subspecies.

Has been treated under name Oenanthe leucomela, but current name has priority.

Probably forms a superspecies with Cyprus Wheatear (Oenanthe cypriaca). Formerly considered conspecific, but vocally very different. Sometimes considered conspecific with Black-eared Wheatear (Oenanthe hispanica). The two hybridize where breeding ranges overlap, with no evidence of assortative mating, and possibly better reunited as one species.
