Subspecies
Has been considered to include Baudo Guan (Penelope ortoni) as a subspecies, but without any trace of intergradation where they overlap, so they probably do not even form a superspecies.

Population of south-eastern Peru was separated as subspecies, marcapatensis, but later recognized as synonym of plumosa.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

  • montagnii (Bonaparte, 1856)   -  North-western Venezuela and northern and central Colombia.
  • atrogularis Hellmayr & Conover, 1932   -  Western slope of Andes in southern Colombia and Ecuador.
  • brooki Chubb, C, 1917   -  Eastern slope of Andes in southern Colombia and Ecuador.
  • plumosa von Berlepsch & Stolzmann, 1902   -  Eastern slope of Andes in Peru.
  • sclateri Gray, GR, 1860   -  Yungas of Bolivia; usually said to occur in extreme northern Argentina too, but this is based on two specimens recently shown to belong to Red-faced Guan (Penelope dabbenei).
