Subspecies
Closest to White-throated Earthcreeper (Upucerthia albigula) and Buff-breasted Earthcreeper (Upucerthia validirostris). Has been considered to form a superspecies with Buff-breasted Earthcreeper (Upucerthia validirostris), and may be conspecific. Considered together, the two exhibit a stepped cline in plumage coloration (increasingly rufescent to south) and perhaps a smooth cline in measurements, and songs sound very similar (although written descriptions differ somewhat). On the other hand, they appear to overlap in range in southern Bolivia (Potosí). Further study is required. Vocally distinctive subspecies pallida possibly a separate species.
Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Buff-breasted Earthcreeper (Upucerthia validirostris).
The following 3 subspecies are recognised:
- saturata Carriker, 1933 - Western Andes of central Peru (Ancash, Huánuco, north-western Pasco).
- jelskii (Cabanis, 1874) - Andes of central Peru (Lima, Junín, Huancavelica).
- pallida Taczanowski, 1883 - Andes of southern Peru (Ayacucho, Arequipa, Cuzco, Apurímac, Puno), northern Chile (Tarapacá), western Bolivia (La Paz south to Potosí) and north-western Argentina (Jujuy).
