Further study is required. Forms a superspecies with Black Inca (Coeligena prunellei). "Coeligena purpurea", from Popayan (south-central Colombia), might be a dark variety of present species. Alternatively, may be hybrid between Bronzy Inca (Coeligena coeligena) and Black Inca (Coeligena prunellei).
