Grey Elaenia © arthurgrosset.com

Apparently closely related to Foothill Elaenia (Myiopagis olallai), but also suggested by some as possibly not belonging in present genus on grounds of sexual plumage dimorphism.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

• absita (Wetmore, 1963)   -  Eastern Panama.
• parambae (Hellmayr, 1904)   -  Chocó region of western Colombia and north-western Ecuador. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Choco Grey Elaenia (Myiopagis parambae).
• cinerea (Pelzeln, 1868)   -  Eastern Colombia east through north-western and southern Venezuela (Zulia, Bolí­var, Amazonas) to south-western Guyana and French Guiana, and south through eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru and western Amazonian Brazil (east to R Purus) to northern Bolivia. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Amazonian Grey Elaenia (Myiopagis cinerea).
• caniceps (Swainson, 1835)   -  North-eastern, southern and south-eastern Brazil (Ceará, Alagoas, and from southern Mato Grosso and Maranhío south to Sío Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul), Paraguay, southern Bolivia (Tarija) and extreme north-western and north-eastern Argentina.
