Subspecies
Genus often subsumed in Agelaius. Behavioural and molecular data indicate that this species is closely related to Yellow-hooded Blackbird (Chrysomus icterocephalus). Subspecies probably once separated, but now appear to meet and possibly intergrade in south-eastern Brazil (Sío Paulo).

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

  • frontalis (Vieillot, 1819)   -  Coast of French Guiana, and eastern Brazil (Amapá, including Marajó I, east to Rio Grande do Norte, then south to Goiás, Minas Gerais and Sío Paulo).
  • ruficapillus Vieillot, 1819   -  Eastern Bolivia (Santa Cruz) and southern Brazil (Mato Grosso do Sul east to Sío Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul) south to north-eastern Argentina (north-eastern La Pampa and Buenos Aires) and Uruguay.
