Subspecies
No subspecies.

Icterus galbula (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Northern Oriole (Icterus galbula), Bullock's Oriole (Icterus bullockiorum) and Black-backed / Abeille's Oriole (Icterus abeillei) following AOU (1998).

Sometimes treated as conspecific with Bullock's Oriole (Icterus bullockiorum), but DNA data indicate that it is sister to Northern Oriole (Icterus galbula) and all formerly treated as conspecific.
