Subspecies
Distinctive, with no very close relatives. Four additional subspecies have been named, but species exhibits considerable variation in size and coloration throughout range, and much overlap in characters among different populations. Thus, described subspecies monticola (eastern Cuba) and cocoensis (Cayo Coco and nearby cays) are regarded as synonyms of nominate subspecies, and gloriae (Cantiles Keys) and marthae (Cayo Caballones) as synonyms of insulaepinorum.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

percussus (Temminck, 1826) - Cuba, including archipelagos of Sabana and Camag�ey.
insulaepinorum Bangs, 1910 - I of Pines, Cantiles Keys and Archipi�lago Jardines de la Reina (Cayo Caballones).
