Subspecies
Subspecies hardly separable by plumage and a review is perhaps desirable. Subspecies singetra often synonymized with nominate, but differs in plumage of white morph. Subspecies comorensis often misspelt "comoroensis", which is an incorrect subsequent spelling.

The following 6 subspecies are recognised:

  • singetra (Linnaeus, 1766)   -  Northern, western and southern Madagascar.
  • mutata (Linnaeus, 1766)   -  High Plateau and eastern Madagascar.
  • comorensis Milne-Edwards & Oustalet, 1885   -  Grand Comoro (Njazidja), in western Comoro Is.
  • voeltzkowiana Stresemann, 1924   -  Mohéli (Mwali), in west-central Comoros.
  • vulpina (Newton, E, 1877)   -  Anjouan (Ndzuani), in central Comoros.
  • pretiosa (Lesson, R, 1847)   -  Mayotte (Maore), in eastern Comoro Is.
