Subspecies
Relationships uncertain. Specimens from extreme ends of range differ in plumage coloration; named subspecies stellata (eastern Ecuador, western Brazil) and zononota (west-central Brazil, northern Bolivia) described primarily on basis of darkness and coloration of crown and back, darkness and extent of grey on flanks, and size and number of breast spots, but comparative documentation considered insufficient. Further study is required to determine whether any geographical subspecies, with defined distributions, are recognizable.
The following 3 subspecies are recognised:
cincta (Pelzeln, 1868) - South-eastern Colombia to eastern Peru, north-western Bolivia, north-western and southern Amazonian Brazil.
stellata (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1880) - Eastern Ecuador and western Brazil.
zononota Ridgway, 1888 - West-central Brazil and northern Bolivia.
