Proposed subspecies auriceps (described from Buenavista, in Nariño, in south-western Colombia) considered indistinguishable from birds elsewhere in species' range. The form anchicayae, from mountains above R Anchicayá, in Valle (Colombia), described erroneously as a subspecies of Green-and-gold Tanager (Tangara schrankii), is now known to be a synonym of present species.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

• florida (Sclater & Salvin, 1869)   -  Costa Rica to north-western Ecuador.
• auriceps Chapman, 1914   -  Extreme eastern Panama (Darién) to Colombia and north-western Ecuador.
