Subspecies
Forms a superspecies with Yellow-browed Woodpecker (Piculus aurulentus). Specific name sometimes misspelt as chrysochlorus. Racial differentiation partly obscured by considerable individual variation; birds in southern Colombia (Putumayo) and north-eastern Ecuador lacking red malar stripe may possibly represent a new, as yet unnamed subspecies. Further study is needed, possibly also taxonomic revision.

paraensis (Snethlage, E, 1907) - North-eastern Brazil.
