Plumage similarities have suggested to most authors that this and Tawny-throated Leaftosser (Sclerurus mexicanus) are sister-species.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

brunnescens Todd, 1948 - South-eastern Colombia (southern from Meta and Vaup�s), western Brazil north of R Amazon (east to possibly right bank of R Negro), eastern Ecuador and north-eastern Peru (north of R Amazon in Amazonas, Loreto and San Mart��n).
furfurosus Todd, 1948 - Northern Brazil north of R Amazon (eastern from possibly R Negro).
rufigularis Pelzeln, 1868 - South of R Amazon in north-eastern Peru (northern Loreto), Brazil (Amazonas east to Maranh�o, south to northern Mato Grosso) and eastern Bolivia (eastern Beni, north-eastern Santa Cruz).
