Austral Blackbird © sunrisebirding.com

Proposed subspecies recurvirostris (described from Riesco I, in southern Chile), resembling reynoldsi but supposedly with slightly recurved bill, requires further study, as recent observers have not reported peculiarities in bill shape.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

• curaeus (Molina, 1782)   -  Central and southern Chile from Coquimbo (rarely Atacama) south, including Chiloé I and most islands along coast, to Straits of Magellan, and south-western Argentina (Neuquén southern along Andes to Santa Cruz).
• reynoldsi (Sclater, WL, 1939)   -  Southern Chile and extreme southern Argentina (Tierra del Fuego and nearby islands).
• recurvirostris Markham, 1971   -  Southern Chile (Magellanes).
