     by Helberth J. C. Peixoto from Itutinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil (song)

Subspecies
No subspecies.

Often placed in a monotypic genus Geobates on account of slightly smaller size, shorter tail and bill, and bright cinnamon axillaries, but otherwise similar to current congeners in behaviour and voice. Plumage features and lowland distribution suggest related to Common Miner (Geositta cunicularia).
