Subspecies
Morphological and behavioural evidence suggests genus most closely related to Legatus and nesting behaviour links with Pitangus. Molecular data indicate strong support for a clade consisting of present species and Dusky-chested Flycatcher (Myiozetetes luteiventris) as sister-group to one formed by Rusty-margined Flycatcher (Myiozetetes cayanensis) and Social Flycatcher (Myiozetetes similis). Subspecies occidentalis possibly better merged with nominate. Further study is required.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

granadensis Lawrence, 1862 - Eastern Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica south to central-eastern Panama.
occidentalis Zimmer, JT, 1937 - Eastern Panama (Dari�n), northern and western Colombia (west of Andes) and north-western Ecuador (south to northern Manab�� and southern Pichincha).
obscurior Todd, 1925 - Central and eastern Colombia (lower Magdalena Valley south to south-eastern side of Serran��a San Lucas, southern from western Meta and Vaup�s, and widely east of eastern Andes) and south-eastern Venezuela (central and southern Amazonas, western Bol��var) south to eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru (east of Andes), western Brazil (east to northern Roraima, western Amazonas and Rond�nia) and northern Bolivia (south to Cochabamba and northern Santa Cruz).
