Subspecies
Recent molecular-genetic studies suggest that this genus and Nesospingus, Chlorospingus and Spindalis form a monophyletic clade that is sister to several New World warbler (Parulidae) genera (including Dendroica, Basileuterus and Vermivora), and are not closely related to other genera of present family. This species forms a superspecies with Black-crowned Palm-tanager (Phaenicophilus palmarum) and are sometimes treated as conspecific. Hybridization between them occurs.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • coryi Richmond & Swales, 1924   -  Goní˘ve I (off west-central Hispaniola).
  • poliocephalus (Bonaparte, 1851)   -  Southern peninsula of Haiti and immediately adjacent south-western ­Dominican Republic. Also island of Grande Cayemite.
  • tetraopes Wetmore & Lincoln, 1932   -  I í  Vache (off south-western Hispaniola).
