Many authorities regard it as one of three sub-species of Black-faced Firefinch Lagonosticta larvata but which look significantly different from each other. The HBW and Birdlife International checklist resolves this by splitting the species so that the one found in Ghana is Grey Firefinch Lagonosticta nigricollis. | |||
