Species has sometimes been referred to as Tangara castanonota, but present name has priority. Forms a superspecies with Burnished-buff Tanager (Tangara cayana), Grenada Tanager (Tangara cucullata), Black-backed Tanager (Tangara peruviana), Green-capped Tanager (Tangara meyerdeschauenseei) and Scrub Tanager (Tangara vitriolina). Has been considered conspecific with Black-backed Tanager (Tangara peruviana), the two then being regarded as partially localized morphs of a single species, differing in colour of mantle and back. However, polymorphism not known to occur in any other member of genus and, further, differences in breeding distribution and habitat suggest that the two are best regarded as separate species. An aviary specimen, originally described as Tangara arnaulti, is now believed to be a hybrid with Burnished-buff Tanager (Tangara cayana).
