Subspecies
Forms a superspecies with other members of genus, as a series of non-overlapping mountain-top replacements, and all sometimes considered conspecific. Their vocalizations seem fairly close, but plumage patterns differ to an extent not found within species-level taxa in the Furnariidae.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

harterti (von Berlepsch, 1901) - Andes of northern Bolivia (La Paz).
bejaranoi (Remsen, 1981) - Andes of central Bolivia (Cochabamba).
