Close to and possibly conspecific with Bar-bellied Woodcreeper (Hylexetastes stresemanni), having similarities in voice and morphology. Subspecies insignis of Bar-bellied Woodcreeper (Hylexetastes stresemanni) has characters suggesting possible intergradation between the two. Subspecies uniformis treated by some authors as a separate species on basis of differences in plumage and, to lesser extent, body size, despite vocal similarity and a lack of behavioral data; brigidai recently described as a full species on basis of diagnostic but relatively subtle plumage characters, but is similar structurally and vocally to uniformis; intermediates not known, but total number of specimens small. However, morphological and vocal similarities to nominate (songs possibly not identical) suggest that both are better considered subspecies of present species.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

• perrotii (Lsfresnaye, 1844)   -  North-eastern Amazonia, north of Amazon, in eastern Venezuela (R Yuruán, in north-eastern Bolivar), the Guianas and northern Brazil (lower R Negro and central Roraima east to Amapá).
• uniformis Hellmayr, 1909   -  South-eastern Amazonia.
• brigidai da Silva et al., 1995   -  North-central Brazil.
