Taxonomy

It has five subspecies:
- N. b. frantzii occurs in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama.[2]
- N. b. bonapartei occurs in northwestern Venezuela and northern Colombia.[2]
- N. b. discrepans occurs in central Colombia (Tolima and Meta provinces).[2]
- N. b. intercedens occurs in the western Andes of Colombia.[2]
