Subspecies
Closely related to Streak-necked Flycatcher (Mionectes striaticollis). Populations vary along two north-south clines, one from Costa Rica south to western Ecuador and the other following eastern base of mountains from north-eastern Venezuela and Trinidad south to Bolivia. Described subspecies improvisus (northern Cauca Valley) merged with hederaceus, as intermediate within western cline; pallidus (eastern Andes of Colombia in Magdalena and northern Meta) and meridae (north-western Venezuela and adjacent north-eastern Colombia) are indistinct, intermediate forms within eastern cline, both treated as synonyms of venezuelensis.
The following 5 subspecies are recognised:
olivaceus Lawrence, 1868 - Eastern Costa Rica and western Panama.
hederaceus Bangs, 1910 - Panama (eastern from Veraguas), northern and western Colombia (Cauca Valley, western slope and lowlands) and western Ecuador (south to Loja).
galbinus Bangs, 1902 - Santa Marta region of northern Colombia. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Olive-striped Flycatcher (Mionectes galbinus).
