Subspecies
No subspecies.
Daurian Jackdaw (Corvus dauuricus) and Eurasian Jackdaw (Corvus monedula) are sometimes placed together in a separate genus Coloeus. The two form a species pair and are sometimes considered conspecific, but they seem to replace each other geographically in vicinity of L Baikal and northern Mongolia, meeting on very narrow front, but with very few reports of mixed pairings. Dark immature of present species was at one time thought to be a different species ("Corvus neglectus"). Confusing variety of intermediate specimens have also been given names (e.g. griseiventris and nigriventris) Other synonyms of this species are fuscicollis (from Baikal) and khamensis (from Xinjiang, in western China).
