Black-throated Trogon (Trogon rufus) [XC769950]
     by Michael Hurben from Parque Nacional Iguazu: Sendero Macuco, Argentina (song)

 
Black-throated Trogon (Trogon rufus) [XC488831]
     by Rolf A. de By from Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil (song)

Subspecies
Possibly closest to Mountain Trogon (Trogon mexicanus), Elegant Trogon (Trogon elegans), Collared Trogon (Trogon collaris), Masked Trogon (Trogon personatus) and Blue-crowned Trogon (Trogon curucui). DNA studies suggest that Elegant Trogon (Trogon elegans), Collared Trogon (Trogon collaris) and Masked Trogon (Trogon personatus) may be nearest relatives.

The following 6 subspecies are recognised:

  • tenellus Cabanis, 1862   -  Eastern Honduras, Nicaragua, both slopes of Costa Rica (except north-west) and Panama, and extreme north-western Colombia.
  • cupreicauda (Chapman, 1914)   -  Western Colombia and western Ecuador.
  • rufus Gmelin, 1788   -  Eastern Venezuela and the Guianas to northern Brazil (R Negro region and Amapá).
  • sulphureus von Spix, 1824   -  South-eastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, north-eastern Peru and western Brazil.
  • amazonicus Todd, 1943   -  North-central Brazil (lower Amazon Valley).
  • chrysochloros Pelzeln, 1856   -  Paraguay, north-eastern Argentina and eastern and south-eastern Brazil (Bahia to Rio Grande do Sul, and including Mato Grosso); presumably this subspecies in north-eastern Brazil (Alagoas).
