Subspecies
No subspecies.

Systematic position of genus long a subject of debate. Further investigation is required. Forms a superspecies with Yellow-spotted Nicator (Nicator chloris), and often considered conspecific. Populations of Zambesi Valley (from Zambia east to central Mozambique) described as subspecies phyllophilus on basis of paler browner forecrown, more greyish-yellow hindcrown and neck and brighter upperside, but differences from populations in rest of range slight, and considered insufficient to warrant naming of geographical subspecies.
