Subspecies
Cinclodes excelsior (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Stout-billed Cinclodes (Cinclodes excelsior) and Royal Cinclodes (Cinclodes aricomae) following SACC (2005).

Sometimes placed in genus Geositta, and in the past in Upucerthia, but plumage, wing-raising display and foraging behaviour favour inclusion in present genus. Formerly treated as conspecific with Royal Cinclodes (Cinclodes aricomae), but differs in, especially, plumage and in micro-habitat use.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

  • columbianus (Chapman, 1912)   -  Central Andes of Colombia (Tolima).
  • excelsior (Sclater, 1860)   -  Andes from extreme south-western Colombia (Nariņo) south to southern Ecuador (northern Azuay).
