No subspecies.

Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA suggested that closest relatives are Yucatan Flycatcher (Myiarchus yucatanensis), Ash-throated Flycatcher (Myiarchus cinerascens) and Brown-crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus tyrannulus), but relationships within this group not resolved. Birds from Massachusetts separated as subspecies boreus on basis of bill size, but geographical variation considered clinal.
