The Hamerkop constitutes the family Scopidae and genus Scopus all on its own because of its unique characteristics.
The Hamerkop is currently placed in the pelican and cormorant group, Pelecaniformes, although it is classified into Ciconiiformes (storks, herons, egrets, ibises, and spoonbills) by other authorities.
