Subspecies
Forms a superspecies with Mongolian Accentor (Prunella koslowi ), and appears also to be close to Radde's Accentor (Prunella ocularis ) and all three belong to a species group that also includes Brown Accentor (Prunella fulvescens ), Siberian Accentor (Prunella montanella ) and Arabian Accentor (Prunella fagani ).
Proposed central Asian subspecies lucens (described from R Tzagma, in central Tien Shan) and menzbieri (from Katon-Karagai, in south-western Altai) regarded as synonymous with huttoni . Original spelling of species name has repeatedly been quoted as "atragularis ", but this is erroneous.
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
atrogularis (Brandt, 1844) - Breeds in northern and central Ural Mts, in north-western Russia. Non-breeding in south-western Asia.
huttoni (Moore, F, 1854) - Breeds in mountains of west-central Asia, from Altai Mts south to Pamirs. Non-breeding in south-western Asia.
