This taxon was split from the winding cisticola by the IOC and HBW, as were the rufous-winged cisticola, coastal cisticola and Ethiopian cisticola. The Clements (2017) and Howard and Moore (2014) world lists consider these taxa as a single species, the winding cisticola C. galactotes (sensu lato). == Distribution and habitat == This species is found in eastern Angola, Lake Mweru (south-eastern DRC), Zambia, northern and north-eastern Namibia, northern Botswana and north-western Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland and swamps.
