Proposed taxon Hooded Seedeater (Sporophila melanops), known only from one adult male collected in 1823 on eastern bank of R Araguaia (extreme west-central Goiás), in south-central Brazil, is believed to have been a variant of present species or a hybrid between it and a congener.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

• nigricollis (Vieillot, 1823)   -  Southern Costa Rica and Panama to north, western and eastern Colombia and probably eastern Ecuador, east through Venezuela to Suriname, including southern Lesser Antilles (Carriacou, Grenada), and Trinidad and Tobago; east-central and eastern Brazil south to Mato Grosso and Sío Paulo, extreme eastern Bolivia (eastern Santa Cruz) and north-eastern Argentina (Misiones).
• vivida Hellmayr, 1938   -  South-western Colombia (Nariño) and western Ecuador.
• inconspicua von Berlepsch & Stolzmann, 1906   -  Peruvian Andes southern on western slope to Lambayeque and on eastern slope to Cuzco.
• olivacea (von Berlepsch & Taczanowski, 1884)   -  South-western Colombia and western Ecuador.
