Forms a superspecies with Mangrove Swallow (Tachycineta albilinea) and White-winged Swallow (Tachycineta albiventer). Was for many years considered conspecific with Mangrove Swallow (Tachycineta albilinea), but differs in nest structure, flight call and morphology, and recent cytochrome b data also support treatment as separate species.
