Possibly closest to “typica group” of D. longicauda, size and vocalizations of which more similar to present species than to Amazonian D. longicauda. Race secunda has been considered a separate species by some authors. Racial identity of birds from extreme E of range in Brazil (E of R Tocantins, to Maranhão) not known; tentatively included within nominate. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- secunda Hellmayr, 1904 - W Amazonia from S Colombia and S Venezuela (S Amazonas) S to E Ecuador, NE Peru and NW Brazil (E to R Negro and R Madeira).
- clarior J. T. Zimmer, 1929 - NE Amazonia, N of Amazon, in Brazil from R Negro E to Amapá, and French Guiana; populations in Guyana presumably this race.
- stictolaema (Pelzeln, 1868) - S Amazonian Brazil, S of Amazon, from R Madeira E to lower R Tocantins and Maranhão, and S to N Mato Grosso.
