Subspecies
Has in the past been thought to form a superspecies, or even to be conspecific, with Spectacled Thrush (Turdus nudigenis), but differences between the two considered too great to warrant such treatment. Geographical variation for the most part very slight. Some subspecies perhaps better merged.

Proposed subspecies umbrinus (from Guatemala) apparently based on fresh nominate specimens.

The following 9 subspecies are recognised:

  • tamaulipensis (Nelson, 1897)   -  Extreme southern USA (southern Texas) and eastern Mexico (eastern Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, northern Veracruz).
  • microrhynchus Lowery & Newman, RJ, 1949   -  East-central Mexico (south-central San Luis Potosí­).
  • lanyoni Dickerman, 1981   -  Caribbean drainage of southern Mexico, northern Guatemala and southern Belize.
  • yucatanensis Phillips, AR, 1991   -  Northern Yucatán Peninsula (south-eastern Mexico and northern Belize).
  • linnaei Phillips, AR, 1966   -  Southern Mexico (Pacific Oaxaca and lowland southern Chiapas) east to Guatemala border.
  • grayi Bonaparte, 1838   -  Southern Mexico (Pacific slope of southern Chiapas) east to western Guatemala.
  • megas Miller, W & Griscom, 1925   -  Pacific slope of western Guatemala south to Honduras and Nicaragua.
  • casius (Bonaparte, 1855)   -  Costa Rica south to north-western Colombia.
  • incomptus (Bangs, 1898)   -  Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in northern Colombia.
