Previously sometimes placed in genus Spreo. Has been thought to form a superspecies with Hildebrandt's Starling (Lamprotornis hildebrandti) and Shelley's Starling (Lamprotornis shelleyi), but exhibits several morphological differences from those two.

Proposed subspecies rufiventris (described from northern Ethiopia) considered indistinguishable from individuals in rest of species' range.
