Philippine Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus philippensis) [XC79332]
     by id from Tadao, Ilocos Norte Province, Luzon, Philippines (song)

Subspecies
Spizaetus philippensis (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) was split into Philippine Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus philippensis) and Spizaetus pinskeri by Gamauf et al. (2005), but this treatment has not been adopted by the BirdLife International.

Spizaetus nanus, Spizaetus lanceolatus, Spizaetus philippensis, Spizaetus pinskeri, Spizaetus nipalensis, Spizaetus alboniger and Spizaetus bartelsi (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) and Spizaetus cirrhatus and Spizaetus floris (Gjershaug et al. 2004) have been transferred into the genus Nisaetus following Haring et al. (2006). Spizaetus africanus and Hieraaetus fasciatus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) have both been transferred into Aquila, also following Haring et al. (2006); and Hieraaetus kienerii (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been transferred into the resurrected genus Lophotriorchis.

Forms superspecies with Mountain Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus nipalensis), Blyth's Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus alboniger), Javan Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi) and Sulawesi Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus lanceolatus).

No subspecies.
