Subspecies
No subspecies.
Analysis of feather proteins has suggested possible relationship between this species and genus Tijuca (especially Black-and-gold Cotinga (Lipaugus ater)). Despite increase in size and weight from north to south-west of range, and presence of isolated population in eastern Brazil, variation considered insufficient to merit naming of geographical subspecies.
