Subspecies
Has in the past been suggested as forming a superspecies with Falkenstein's Greenbul (Chlorocichla falkensteini), but subsequent studies have not supported such a relationship. Poorly differentiated subspecies ortiva (described from southern Mozambique) treated as a synonym of occidentalis.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • centralis Reichenow, 1887   -  Southern Somalia and south-central and western Kenya south to eastern Tanzania and north-eastern Mozambique.
  • occidentalis Sharpe, 1882   -  North-western Angola east to south-eastern DRCongo and western Tanzania, south to extreme north-western Namibia, northern and eastern Botswana, northern South Africa (south to northern Province and Mpumulanga) and south-central Mozambique.
  • flaviventris (Smith, 1834)   -  Coastal southern Mozambique south to eastern South Africa (south to KwaZulu-Natal and extreme northern eastern Cape).
