Subspecies
Formerly placed in genus Parisoma within babbler family (Timaliidae), but recent studies of morphology, behaviour, vocalizations and mitochondrial DNA indicate that it is better included in present genus. Identification of subspecies insufficiently understood, possibly only two may merit recognition. Further studies required in order to clarify true differences. Birds in southern Ethiopia included within subspecies somalica, but may belong with marsabit.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

somalica (Friedmann, 1928) - North-central, eastern and south-western Ethiopia, north-western Somalia and north-eastern Kenya.
marsabit (van Someren, 1931) - North-central Kenya.
boehmi (Reichenow, 1882) - Southern Kenya and north-east, central and south-western Tanzania.
