Subspecies
Serinus canicollis (Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993), Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993)) has been split into Cape Canary (Serinus canicollis) and Yellow-crowned Canary (Serinus flavivertex), following Ryan et al. (2004), owing to significant morphological differences between males of the two taxa.

May form a superspecies with Yellow-crowned Canary (Serinus flavivertex), and previously considered conspecific.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • griseitergum Clancey, 1967   -  Eastern Zimbabwe and adjacent Mozambique.
  • thompsonae Roberts, 1924   -  Northern and eastern South Africa south, including western Swaziland, to eastern Free State and southern KwaZulu-Natal, and Lesotho.
  • canicollis (Swainson, 1838)   -  Southern South Africa from western Cape east to western Free State and north-eastern eastern Cape.
