Udzungwa Forest Partridge © pinterest.com

Originally thought to be an aberrant species of forest francolin, but extensive taxonomic study indicates that present species is probably most closely related to the Asiatic genus Arborophila.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

• udzungwensis Dinesen, Lehmberg, Svendsen, Hansen et al., 1994   -  Udzungwa Mountains of southern Tanzania.
• obscurata Fjeldså and Kiure, 2003   -  Southern Tanzania (Maf-wemiro forest in Rubeho highlands). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Rubeho Forest-Partridge (Xenoperdix obscuratus).
