Subspecies
Sometimes thought to form a superspecies with Slaty Brush-finch (Atlapetes schistaceus) and Rusty-bellied Brush-finch (Atlapetes nationi), and often considered conspecific with one or the other. Subspecies celicae, known from a single specimen, may be an aberrant individual of simonsi.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

celicae (Taczanowski, 1883) - Western Loja (region of Celica), in south-western Ecuador.
simonsi (Sharpe, 1900) - Central and eastern Loja, in southern Ecuador.
