Subspecies
No subspecies.

Molecular evidence suggests that genus is closely related to Oryzoborus, which should perhaps be subsumed within it. Further, that both genera should be placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae). This species presumed most closely related to Capped Seedeater (Sporophila bouvreuil), and part of the southern clade of "capped" seedeaters (Capped Seedeater (Sporophila bouvreuil), Tawny-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila hypoxantha), Grey-and-chestnut Seedeater (Sporophila hypochroma), Dark-throated Seedeater (Sporophila ruficollis), Marsh Seedeater (Sporophila palustris), Chestnut Seedeater (Sporophila cinnamomea), Black-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila melanogaster)).
