Subspecies
Sometimes placed in genus Rupornis, or alternatively in Asturina. Appears to be closely allied to Ridgway's Hawk (Buteo ridgwayi), Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) and Grey-lined Hawk (Buteo nitidus), all of which may be more closely tied to Leucopternis than to Buteo. Many more subspecies have been recognized: subspecies griseocauda includes argutus, direptor, xantusi and petersi; subspecies magnirostris includes insidiatrix and ecuadoriensis; subspecies occiduus includes inca; and subspecies pucherani includes gularis.

The following 12 subspecies are recognised:

  • griseocauda (Ridgway, 1874)   -  Mexico (southern from Colima, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, except Yucatán and Tabasco) south to north-western Costa Rica and western Panama (Chiriquí­).
  • conspectus Peters, JL, 1913   -  South-eastern Mexico (Tabasco and Yucatán Peninsula) and northern Belize.
  • gracilis Ridgway, 1885   -  Cozumel I and Holbox I, near Yucatán (Mexico).
  • sinushonduri (Bond, J, 1936)   -  Bonacca I and Ruatan I, off Honduras.
  • petulans van Rossem, 1935   -  South-western Costa Rica and Pacific slope of western Panama to R Tuira, and adjacent islands.
  • alius Peters, JL & Griscom, 1929   -  San José and San Miguel, in Pearl Is (Gulf of Panama).
  • magnirostris (Gmelin, 1788)   -  Colombia south to western Ecuador, east to Venezuela and the Guianas, and south to Amazonian Brazil (R Madeira east to Atlantic coast).
  • occiduus Bangs, 1911   -  Eastern Peru, western Brazil (south of Amazon, west of R Madeira) and northern Bolivia.
  • saturatus (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1876)   -  Bolivia, through Paraguay and south-western Brazil (south-western Mato Grosso) to western Argentina (south to La Rioja).
  • nattereri (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1869)   -  North-eastern Brazil south to Bahia.
  • magniplumis (Bertoni, AW, 1901)   -  Southern Brazil, northern Argentina (Misiones) and adjacent Paraguay.
  • pucherani (Verreaux, J & Verreaux, E, 1855)   -  Uruguay and north-eastern Argentina (south to Buenos Aires Province).
