This species and C. monedula sometimes placed together in a separate genus, Coloeus. The two form a species pair and are sometimes considered conspecific, but they seem to replace each other geographically in vicinity of L Baikal and N Mongolia, meeting on very narrow front, but with very few reports of mixed pairings. Dark immature of present species was at one time thought to be a different species ("C. neglectus"). Confusing variety of intermediate specimens have also been given names (e.g. griseiventris and nigriventris) Other synonyms of this species are fuscicollis (from Baikal) and khamensis (from Xinjiang, in W China). Monotypic.
Distribution: S part of E Siberia from NW L Baikal E to Amurland and Ussuriland (SE Russia), S through Mongolia to E & NE China (E from NE Xinjiang and E Qinghai, S to SE Xizang, Yunnan and Jiangsu). N breeders migrate S to as far as SE China, Korea and S Japan.
