  • T. b. bernardi:
  • Arid tropical south-western Ecuador to north-central Peru); Isla Puná
  • T. b. shumbae:
  • North-central Peru (Río Marañón drainage in Cajamarca and Amazonas). Compared with nominate, male with more white on face and smaller dark throat patch but (perhaps) darker upperparts. Female is paler than nominate and almost white below. It has a brighter rufous crown[7].

Some authorities recognize two additional subspecies, piurae and cajamarcae.
