Subspecies
Molecular-genetic data indicate that this species, Black-capped Tanager (Tangara heinei), Sira Tanager (Tangara phillipsi) and Straw-backed Tanager (Tangara argyrofenges) form a species group, and that Azure-shouldered Tanager (Tangara cyanoptera) is sister to this group. Nominate subspecies apparently intergrades with fulvigula in northern Peru (vicinity of R Marañon) where examples tend to be intermediate in plumage.
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
- fulvigula (von Berlepsch & Stolzmann, 1906) - Andes in southern Ecuador (western slope in El Oro and western Loja, also old record from Azuay; eastern slope in extreme southern Zamora-Chinchipe) and northern Peru (adjacent eastern slope in south to Lambayeque and Cajamarca, and on both slopes of dry western Andes).
- viridicollis (Taczanowski, 1884) - Eastern slope of Andes of Peru south of R Marañón (Amazonas south, discontinuously, to Puno) and western Bolivia (near Tokoaque, in La Paz).
