Subspecies
Closest relatives possibly Slaty-tailed Trogon (Trogon massena), Black-tailed Trogon (Trogon melanurus) and Lattice-tailed Trogon (Trogon clathratus). Probably forms a parapatric species pair with Black-tailed Trogon (Trogon melanurus). Superficial similarity to both Slaty-tailed Trogon (Trogon massena) and Black-tailed Trogon (Trogon melanurus), combined with extensive sympatry, has led some authors to suggest that this species might perhaps be conspecific with some form currently placed within one or other of these two.

No subspecies.
