Subspecies
Was once placed in its own genus, Elainopsis, and moved to the family Cotingidae on basis of its incomplete tarsal envelope.
Proposed subspecies subcinerea (east-central Brazil from lower Amazon Basin east to Maranhío and Goiás) treated as a synonym of nominate. Intergrades broadly with nominate and with guianensis, and most individuals cannot be reliably distinguished from either.
The following 5 subspecies are recognised:
macilvainii (Lawrence, 1871) - Panama (east of Canal Zone) and Caribbean coast of Colombia (east to base of Santa Marta Mts).
bogotensis (von Berlepsch, 1907) - North-eastern Colombia (from northern Santa Marta Mts) east to northern Venezuela (western Zulia east to Sucre, south to Barinas, Apure and R Orinoco).
trinitatis (Hartert & Goodson, 1917) - Trinidad.
guianensis (von Berlepsch, 1907) - Eastern Amazonian Colombia, southern and south-eastern Venezuela (south of R Orinoco) and the Guianas south to northern Amazonian Brazil and extreme north-eastern Peru (Loreto).
gaimardii (D'Orbigny, 1840) - Eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, southern Amazonian Brazil (east to western Pará, also Alagoas, south to western Mato Grosso, western Sío Paulo and Goiás) and northern Bolivia.
