Subspecies
Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Black Honey-buzzard (Henicopernis infuscatus), with which it forms superspecies.

Two subspecies formerly recognized: barely distinct fraterculus of Japen I; and the smaller minimus of Aru and western Papuan Is. Now considered invalid, because size varies clinally with altitude in mainland New Guinea, with birds smaller in coastal lowlands, larger in highlands.

No subspecies.
