Taxonomy

The buff-breasted mountain tanager was formally described in 1840 by the French ornithologist Auguste Boissonneau from a specimen collected near Bogotá in Colombia. He coined the binomial name Tanagra taeniata.[2] The specific epithet is the Latin word for a "head-band".[3] This species is now placed in the genus Dubusia that was introduced in 1850 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte.[4][5]

Streak-crowned mountain tanager and Carriker's mountain tanager was previously treated as subspecies of buff-breasted mountain tanager. While they are currently recognized as separate species.[6]
