Subspecies
No subspecies.
Forms a superspecies with Ethiopian Boubou (Laniarius aethiopicus) and closely allied also with Southern Boubou (Laniarius ferrugineus), Zanzibar Boubou (Laniarius sublacteus) and Swamp Boubou (Laniarius bicolor), all previously treated as a superspecies and sometimes even as a single species. Has been treated as a subspecies of Ethiopian Boubou (Laniarius aethiopicus), but the two overlap in range in a tiny area around Bafodia, in northern Sierra Leone (formerly forested, and may have separated the two), where they do not react to each other, even though voices very similar.
