Subspecies
Molecular data indicate that this genus and Chrysothlypis are closely related and probably sister-taxa, and that Heterospingus also is closely related to them. This species and Guira Tanager (Hemithraupis guira) are sister-species. They hybridize to some degree in limited zone of contact, but do not intergrade. Subspecies differ minimally, and species perhaps better treated as monotypic. A review is warranted.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

bahiae Zimmer, JT, 1947 - South-eastern Bahia, in eastern Brazil.
ruficapilla (Vieillot, 1818) - South-eastern Brazil from southern Minas Gerais and Esp��rito Santo south to eastern Santa Catarina.
