Subspecies
No subspecies.
Sometimes thought to form a superspecies with Cape Wagtail (Motacilla capensis). Both also suggested as comprising a superspecies with Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava) and Citrine Wagtail (Motacilla citreola), but such a relationship is not supported by recent molecular-genetic studies. Described subspecies icterica (south-central Madagascar) considered indistinguishable from other populations.
