Subspecies
Has been thought to form a superspecies with White-headed Wren (Campylorhynchus albobrunneus), Stripe-backed Wren (Campylorhynchus nuchalis) and Fasciated Wren (Campylorhynchus fasciatus). Sometimes considered conspecific with White-headed Wren (Campylorhynchus albobrunneus), and may hybridize with it in southern Colombia. Proposed subspecies aenigmaticus (from Nariño, in south-western Colombia) is possibly a hybrid between them. Believed by some to be possibly closely related also to Grey-barred Wren (Campylorhynchus megalopterus) as ranges overlap but no evidence of interbreeding. Proposed subspecies panamensis (described from west-central Panama) very similar to, and intergrading with, costaricensis, considered better merged with latter.
