Yellow-throated Brush-Finch
This form is found from southern Mexico to Panama and Colombia.
- A.a. gutturalis (if considered a full species, this is the nominate subspecies of the species Atlapetes gutturalis):

- A.a. parvirostris:
- Subtropical Costa Rica
- A.a. brunnescens:
- Subtropical western Panama (western Chiriquí)
- A.a. coloratus:
- Subtropical western Panama (eastern Chiriquí and Veraguas)
- A.a. azuerensis:
- Western Panama (Azuero Peninsula)
