Subspecies
Sometimes considered a subspecies of Shikra (Accipiter badius), but is quite different in plumage, especially that of juveniles; in structure, being short winged; and in choice of habitat, a denizen of the upper storeys of forest. Most authorities now consider this a separate species. Forms superspecies with Shikra (Accipiter badius) and Levant Sparrowhawk (Accipiter brevipes).
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
- butleri (Gurney, 1898) - Car Nicobar I (northern Nicobar Is).
- obsoletus (Richmond, 1902) - Katchall I and possibly Camorta I (central Nicobar Is).
