• Sturnella magna auropectoralis: western Mexico from southern Sinaloa, coastal Nayarit, and southern Durango across the Trans-Volcanic Belt eastward to the upper Río Lerma, Estado de México; populations between México and the Sierra Madre Oriental, in Tlaxcala, Puebla, and adjacent areas, also may represent auropectoralis, but this requires confirmation
• Sturnella lilianae [incl. auropectoralis]: southwestern USA from northern Arizona, southern Colorado, and western Texas southward through Chihuahua (north-central Mexico) and western and central Mexico from Sinaloa and southern Durango southward to Estado de Mexico
• Sturnella lilianae: northern Arizona to eastern New Mexico, southwestern Texas, southern Sonora, and northwestern Chihuahua
