Subspecies
Probably closest to South Georgia Pipit (Anthus antarcticus) and the two may be part of a clade that also contains Sprague's Pipit (Anthus spragueii), Short-billed Pipit (Anthus furcatus), Yellowish Pipit (Anthus lutescens), Hellmayr's Pipit (Anthus hellmayri) and Paramo Pipit (Anthus bogotensis). Recent DNA work suggests that nominate subspecies and catamarcae may represent a separate species, or indeed two separate species. Subspecies appear to intergrade.

Proposed subspecies phillipsi (Port Stanley, in Falkland Is) synonymized with grayi.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

calcaratus Taczanowski, 1875 - Mountains of Peru.
catamarcae Hellmayr, 1921 - Northern Chile (eastern Antofagasta), south-western Bolivia and north-western Argentina (Catamarca).
correndera Vieillot, 1818 - Southern Paraguay, northern Argentina, Uruguay and extreme south-eastern Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul).
chilensis (Lesson, R, 1839) - Chile (southern from Atacama) and southern Argentina south to Tierra del Fuego.
grayi Bonaparte, 1850 - Falkland Is.
