It is the only member of the genus Neothraupis in the tanager family (Thraupidae), nine-primaried oscines of the Passeroidea. Its plumage is remarkably similar to that of several species of shrikes in the genus Lanius, but these Corvoidea are quite distantly related songbirds. Males and females of this species look alike.
