Taxonomy and systematics
The species is very closely related to Willcocks's honeyguide, and the two species are very similar in size, and this species will even respond to recordings of the Willcocks's honeyguide's voice. Another species, Indicator narokensis has been described from the border of Kenya and Tanzania, this appears to been described from a juvenile pallid honeyeater and is not accepted as a valid species.
