Subspecies
Molecular-genetic data indicate that this species is most closely related to Golden-hooded Tanager (Tangara larvata), which is sister-species to both present species and Masked Tanager (Tangara nigrocincta). Taxonomic status of isolated lowland subspecies melanogaster and albotibialis may be worthy of investigation.

The following 7 subspecies are recognised:

  • granadensis (von Berlepsch, 1884)   -  Andes of Colombia (western range south to Munchique area of Cauca, central range and western slope of eastern range from Santander south to north-western Cundinamarca).
  • caeruleocephala (Swainson, 1838)   -  Colombia (head of Magdalena Valley in Huila, and eastern Andes in Boyacá and Cundinamarca and, on eastern slope, south to Nariño) southern on eastern slope to northern Peru (south to La Libertad and, Huallaga Valley, in northern San Martí­n).
  • cyanopygia (von Berlepsch & Taczanowski, 1884)   -  Entire western slope of Andes in Ecuador.
  • cyanicollis (D'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837)   -  Eastern slope of Andes in Peru (from Huánuco) south to Bolivia (to Cochabamba).
