Subspecies
Formerly considered conspecific with Greater Pewee (Contopus pertinax) and Dark Pewee (Contopus lugubris). Subspecies ardosiacus thought by some authors to be possibly a separate species. Further study is required. Validity of some other subspecies questionable.

The following 6 subspecies are recognised:

ardosiacus (Lafresnaye, 1844) - Colombia (except south-west), extreme western and south-western Venezuela, eastern Ecuador and eastern Peru.
cineraceus (Lafresnaye, 1848) - Northern Venezuela.
duidae (Chapman, 1929) - Southern Venezuela and Guyana.
zarumae (Chapman, 1924) - South-western Colombia and western Ecuador to north-western Peru.
fumigatus (D'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) - South-eastern Peru and northern Bolivia.
brachyrhynchus Cabanis, 1883 - South-eastern Bolivia south to north-western Argentina.
