Subspecies
Central American subspecies considered by some authors to represent a separate species "Campylorhamphus borealis". Assessment of patterns of geographical variation complicated by individual variation in general coloration and in extent of streaking. Subspecies borealis and olivaceus poorly differentiated from one another. Variation upon which tachirensis and guapiensis based possibly individual rather than geographical.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

borealis Carriker, 1910 - Costa Rica (Caribbean slope, also in south-western on Pacific slope and adjacent lowlands) and western Panama (western Chiriqu��, western Bocas del Toro).
olivaceus Griscom, 1927 - Central and eastern Panama (Veraguas east to eastern Dari�n).
tachirensis Phelps & Phelps Jr, 1956 - Perij� Mts and extreme eastern Andes in north-eastern Colombia and north-western Venezuela (western Zulia, south-western T�chira).
pusillus (Sclater, 1860) - Northern and central Andes on both slopes in Colombia (except extreme north-east) and Ecuador, and on eastern slope in northern Peru (south to Cajamarca and San Mart��n).
guapiensis Romero-Zambrano, 1980 - Coastal lowlands of south-western Colombia (Cauca).
