Subspecies
No subspecies.

Molecular-genetic data suggest that genus is most closely related to the "hooded" group of sierra-finches (Black-hooded Sierra-Finch (Phrygilus atriceps), Peruvian Sierra-Finch (Phrygilus punensis), Grey-hooded Sierra-Finch (Phrygilus gayi) and Patagonian Sierra-Finch (Phrygilus patagonicus)). Also, that it belongs within the tanager family (Thraupidae). This species previously considered conspecific with Grassland Yellow-Finch (Sicalis luteola) owing to similarities in plumage, but the two occur sympatrically and behave as good biological species.
