Subspecies
Forms a superspecies with Cinnamon Hummingbird (Amazilia rutila), but not, as sometimes suggested, with Rufous-tailed Hummingbird (Amazilia tzacatl) and Loja Hummingbird (Amazilia alticola). Subspecies cerviniventris formerly treated as a distinct species, including subspecies chalconota.
