The Burchell's Coucal is considered just a subspecies or southern colour morph of the widespread White-browed Coucal Centropus superciliosus by a number of African authorities (Fry, Keith & Urban 1988; Payne 1997) but Sibley & Monroe (1990) considered them separate species, a position followed by Clements (1991) but reversed in Clements (2000).

Now split (Roberts VII; Payne 2005; IOC).
