Subspecies intergrade widely in overlap zones. Proposed subspecies dysleptus in southern USA (western Texas) and adjacent northern Mexico (south to Sierra del Carmen, in Coahuila) synonymized with paloduro. Birds of subspecies sennetti have been referred to using the older names castaneifrons and texensis, but both of these older names appear to be based on hybrids.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

• paloduro Stevenson, JO, 1940   -  Southern USA (northern Texas, south-western Oklahoma), also south-western Texas (Trans-Pecos) south to northern Mexico (extreme eastern Chihuahua, north-western Coahuila).
• sennetti Ridgway, 1904   -  Central and southern Texas.
• atricristatus Cassin, 1850   -  Southern Texas (Rio Grande Valley) and north-eastern Mexico.
