Subspecies
Forms superspecies with Ring-necked Francolin (Scleroptila streptophora ), Finsch's Francolin (Scleroptila finschi ) and Grey-winged Francolin (Scleroptila afra ). Recently proposed reorganization of Francolinus places present species in genus Scleroptila with Ring-necked Francolin (Scleroptila streptophora ), Finsch's Francolin (Scleroptila finschi ), Grey-winged Francolin (Scleroptila afra ), Moorland Francolin (Scleroptila psilolaema ), Shelley's Francolin (Scleroptila shelleyi ) and Orange River Francolin (Scleroptila gutturalis ). Population of northern Malawi has been awarded separate subspecies, crawshayi , but validity doubtful.

levaillantii (Valenciennes, 1825) - Northern Malawi and north-eastern Zambia south to eastern South Africa.
