Races
There are three races,[3] though some 13 have been suggested.[2] They differ by the colour of the belly, colour of the edges to the primaries, and the presence or absence of a black mask.

Notes
Ploceus melanotis, described by Lafresnaye (1839) from two Senegalese specimens is invalid as the name was preoccupied. Sundevall utilized a specimen obtained by Wahlberg in November 1843 at Mohapoani (i.e. Witfonteinrant near Thabazimbi). cf. Oschadleus (2009)
