Subspecies
Buteogallus subtilis (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993; Stotz et al. 1996) is now lumped with Common Black Hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus) following SACC (2007) and AOU (2008).

Taxonomic status remains uncertain. Until recently considered a subspecies of Common Black Hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus), but elevated to specific level based on apparent lack of hybridization with anthracinus. However, there may be contact in Panama where the forms are practically indistinguishable, making detection of hybridization very difficult. Forms superspecies with Common Black Hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus).

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • rhizophorae Monroe, 1963   -  Pacific coast of El Salvador and Honduras; probably from extreme south-western Mexico (Chiapas) locally to Nicaragua.
  • bangsi (Swann, 1922)   -  Pacific coast of Costa Rica and Panama, including Pearl Is.
  • subtilis (Thayer and Bangs, 1905)   -  Pacific coast of Colombia (and offshore islands), Ecuador and adjacent extreme northern Peru (Tumbes).
