Subspecies
No subspecies.

Forms a species pair, and previously regarded as conspecific, with Plush-crested Jay (Cyanocorax chrysops). It has also been suggested that the two form a superspecies with Tufted Jay (Cyanocorax dickeyi).

Proposed subspecies interpositus of Plush-crested Jay (Cyanocorax chrysops) (described from Alagoas, in north-eastern Brazil) seems to be based on a female of present species in worn subadult plumage, but possibly a valid taxon.
