Taxonomy: Muscicapa cinnamomeiventris Lafresnaye, 1843, Colombia, restricted to “Bogotá”.
N race nigrita, nominate and S races (angustifasciata and thoracica) sometimes treated as three separate species, differing in plumage and vocalizations, apparently also with genetic differences between nominate and S races; treatment as conspecific based largely on constancy of plumage pattern. Further research required. Four subspecies recognized.
