Taxonomy

Clements accepts two subspecies:

  • D. s. spilorrhoa

The first is sometimes split as Yellow-tinted Imperial-Pigeon or Yellowish Imperial Pigeon, Ducula subflavescens. However, this split was only accepted by Sibley and Monroe and Gill and Donsker.
Furthermore this species is sometimes considered conspecific with Pied Imperial-Pigeon.
