Subspecies
Sibling species of Grey Greenbul (Eurillas gracilis). Similarities in appearance both to Grey Greenbul (Eurillas gracilis) and to Plain Greenbul (Eurillas curvirostris) have resulted in much confusion, historically and currently, which has obscured the status of each. Consequently, distribution of nominate subspecies uncertain in many areas.
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
ansorgei (Hartert, 1907) - Western Guinea east to Togo, south-central Nigeria east to western Central African Republic and southern PRCongo, north-east, eastern and central DRCongo. Also extreme south-western Uganda.
kavirondensis (van Someren, 1920) - Western Kenya.
