Taxonomy: F[luvicola] rufi-pectoralis d’Orbigny and Lafresnaye, 1837, Ayopayo, Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Taxonomy within this species uncertain, owing to isolation of Andean valleys in which races occur, and inadequate documentation of extent and frequency of intermediates; in S of range, variation from centralis to tectricialis and nominate apparently clinal; current treatment maintained pending further study.
