The Clements (2017) and Howard and Moore (2014) world lists consider these taxa as a single species, the winding cisticolaC. galactotes (sensu lato). [3]

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. [4]

Its natural habitats are tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland and swamps.
