Subspecies
Forms a superspecies with Checkered Woodpecker (Veniliornis mixtus). They seem to be genetically close and may be conspecific, but possible overlap of breeding ranges not well documented. Related more distantly to other American congeners. Birds of isolated northern population slightly smaller than those of Patagonia, with other morphological, plumage and genetic differences, probably representing a separate taxon, for which the name puncticeps is available.

No subspecies.
