Baja Pygmy Owl (Glaucidium hoskinsii) [XC214801]
     by id from Sierra de las Pirras, Baja California Sur, Mexico (call)

Subspecies
Sometimes considered to form superspecies with Eurasian Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium passerinum), Collared Owlet (Glaucidium brodiei), Pearl-spotted Owlet (Glaucidium perlatum), Northern Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium californicum), Mountain Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium gnoma) and Guatemalan Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium cobanense), but DNA evidence clearly shows that Eurasian Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium passerinum) and Northern Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium californicum) are not closely related.

Formerly treated as subspecies of Mountain Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium gnoma); recently split on basis mainly of vocalizations.

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Mountain Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium gnoma).

No subspecies.
