May form a superspecies with Lesser Seedcracker (Pyrenestes minor) and Black-bellied Seedcracker (Pyrenestes ostrinus), and all sometimes treated as conspecific. Occurs in several morphs, varying in body size and bill size, with no geographical pattern. Smaller birds with medium-sized bill proposed as a geographical subspecies, coccineus (described from Sierra Leone), but such individuals occur alongside larger-billed ones in several other parts of species' range, and considered no more than size variants.
