Subspecies
Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus), White-breasted Hawk (Accipiter chionogaster), Plain-breasted Hawk (Accipiter ventralis) and Rufous-thighed Hawk (Accipiter erythronemius) (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) have been lumped into Accipiter striatus following SACC (2005).

Often considered subspecies of Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus), or alternatively of Rufous-thighed Hawk (Accipiter erythronemius), forming superspecies with these two and White-breasted Hawk (Accipiter chionogaster). The group has been split on grounds of differences in morphology, ecology and probably also behaviour.

No subspecies.
