Taxonomy
Usually placed in the genus Accipiter, it is the sister species of the tiny hawk ("A." superciliosus). The latter is the only species in Accipiter yet studied which has a large procoracoid foramen. The collaris-superciliosus superspecies also differs from the typical sparrowhawks in other respects of its anatomy and as regards DNA sequence. Consequently, the old genus Hieraspiza may be more appropriate for them.
