The yellow-billed kite (Milvus aegyptius) is the Afrotropic counterpart of the black kite (Milvus migrans), of which it is most often considered a subspecies.However, DNA studies suggest that the yellow-billed kite differs significantly from black kites in the Eurasian clade, and should be considered as a separate, allopatric species.
The yellow-billed kite is apparently a separate species, as indicated by mtDNA phylogeny showing two supported clades, [8] biogeography, [9] and morphology. [9] The black-eared kite is somewhat distinct morphologically, but is better considered a well-marked parapatric subspecies.
