Subspecies
Closely allied to MacConnell's Flycatcher (Mionectes macconnelli) and Grey-hooded Flycatcher (Mionectes rufiventris) and all were for long placed in a separate genus, Pipromorpha, on basis of specialized outer primaries of male, but they share numerous characters (including unusual lek breeding system) with both Streak-necked Flycatcher (Mionectes striaticollis) and Olive-striped Flycatcher (Mionectes olivaceus). Subspecies fall into two groups according to plumage, the "assimilis group" and the "nominate group". Variation within former sufficient to warrant retention of several names, but obscurus (El Salvador), dyscolus (western Costa Rica and extreme western Panama) and lutescens (western Panama, including Coiba I) merged with assimilis, because they represent barely discernible intermediate forms within a broad north-south cline. Geographical variation across widespread "nominate group" exceedingly minor, while individual, age-specific and sexual variation considerable. Described subspecies intensus (south-eastern Venezuela and western Guyana), wallacei (the Guianas, north-eastern and eastern Amazonian Brazil east of R Negro), chloronotus (Amazon Basin), hauxwelli (eastern Ecuador and north-eastern Peru north of Amazon) and maynanus (east-central Peru south to Pasco) all treated as synonyms of nominate.
The following 7 subspecies are recognised:
assimilis Sclater, PL, 1859 - Humid lowlands from southern Mexico (Veracruz, Tabasco, Yucatán Peninsula) south to eastern Costa Rica and western Panama.
parcus Bangs, 1900 - Eastern Panama (eastern from Canal Zone) east to northern Colombia and north-western Venezuela (Zulia, Táchira, Mérida).
abdominalis (Phelps & Phelps Jr, 1955) - Northern Venezuela (Distrito Federal and Miranda east to Cerro Negro).
pacificus (Todd, 1921) - West of Andes in south-western Colombia and western Ecuador.
pallidiventris Hellmayr, 1906 - North-eastern Venezuela (Sucre and northern Monagas south through Delta Amacuro), Trinidad and Tobago.
dorsalis (Phelps & Phelps Jr, 1952) - Cerros Chimantá and Roraima, in southern Venezuela.
oleagineus (Lichtenstein, 1823) - Eastern Colombia, southern Venezuela, the Guianas and all of Amazonia south to eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru and northern Bolivia (Beni, Cochabamba), and in central and south-eastern Brazil (from northern Mato Grosso east to Maranhío and Bahia, and coastal region from Alagoas south to Rio de Janeiro).
