Although confounded together by the older authors, this species 

 and T. cristatus are very distinct in the colours of both sexes. 

 Besides, the present bird has a longer and more slender beak. Mr. 

 Lawrence has proposed to separate the Upper-Amazonian form as 

 T. napensis, but the differences (consisting mainly in the rather 

 darker uropygium and smaller crest) are not, to my mind, sufficient 

 for specific, although they may serve for subspecific, distinction.
