Subspecies
Taxonomic affinities uncertain. Wing markings recall Claravis, but, except for its long tail, it otherwise resembles Columbina in size and coloration, and sometimes placed in latter genus.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

campestris (Spix, 1825) - Amapá and Marajó I, and Brazilian tableland from Maranh�o and Piauí south to western Minas Gerais.
figginsi Oberholser, 1931 - West-central Brazil (Mato Grosso) and adjacent northern and eastern Bolivia (Beni, Santa Cruz).
