Subspecies
Relationships within genus uncertain. Plumage differences of proposed subspecies pallidiceps (from Cear�), described as paler throughout, and goyana (from southern Goi�s), said to have darker crown and auriculars and more conspicuous supercilium, evidently represent individual variation.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

semicinerea (Reichenbach, 1853) - Eastern Brazil.
goyana Pinto, 1936 - Eastern Brazil (s-c Goi�s).
