     by id from Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, Kenya (call)

Subspecies
No subspecies.

Forms a superspecies with Cabanis's Greenbul (Phyllastrephus cabanisi) and has in the past been treated as conspecific, but differs in morphology (plumage, eye colour, bill structure) and voice, and the two recently found to occur together in Tanzania (parts of the Udzungwas). Has also been suggested that both form a superspecies with Leaf-love (Pyrrhurus scandens) (which sometimes included in present genus), but relationship seems remote. Biometric data for present species indicate a north-south cline of increasing size and weight.
