Subspecies
Closely related to American Pygmy-kingfisher (Chloroceryle aenea). Birds from western Colombia and western Ecuador described as subspeciesw chocoensis on basis of amount of buffy spotting on wing-coverts and tail, but this character seems too variable to be useful for subspecific differentiation.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

  • inda (Linnaeus, 1766)   -  South-eastern Nicaragua to northern Bolivia, eastern Paraguay and southern Brazil.
  • chocoensis Todd, 1943   -  Western Colombia, north-western Ecuador.
