Subspecies
No subspecies.

Forms a superspecies with Red-faced Spinetail (Cranioleuca erythrops), Tepui Spinetail (Cranioleuca demissa), Ash-browed Spinetail (Cranioleuca curtata), Line-cheeked Spinetail (Cranioleuca antisiensis) and Baron's Spinetail (Cranioleuca baroni). All share plumage similarities and mostly lower montane distribution, and their close relationship is consistent with recent genetic data. Some authors have proposed that it is more closely related to Crested Spinetail (Cranioleuca subcristata) and Stripe-crowned Spinetail (Cranioleuca pyrrhophia), because of streaked crown.
