Subspecies
Placement of genus in present family has been questioned; in particular, recent research indicates that it appears not to form part of a monophyletic parulid family, and a more recent study suggests that it may belong with the cardinals (Cardinalidae). This species forms a superspecies with Red-breasted Chat (Granatellus venustus) and Grey-throated Chat (Granatellus sallaei).
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
pelzelni Sclater, 1865 - Southern and south-eastern Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, central and eastern Amazonian Brazil and extreme northern Bolivia; probably also French Guiana and extreme eastern Colombia.
paraensis Rothschild, 1906 - Extreme eastern Amazonian Brazil south of R Amazon (east of R Tocantins). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Rose-bellied Chat (Granatellus paraensis).
