Described as Grallaria erythrotis Sclater and Salvin 1876, with type locality "Tilotilo, prov. Yungas [La Paz], Bolivia".
The relationships of Grallaria erythrotis to other members of the genus are unresolved. Recent phylogenetic analyses of Grallaria, based on DNA sequence data, are incomplete and do not include Rufous-faced Antpitta (Krabbe et al. 1999, Rice 2005).
Based on general plumage and morphological characteristics, Rufous-faced Antpitta falls within the subgenus Oropezus (Ridgway 1909, Lowery and O’Neill 1969). This group contains G. rufocinerea (Bicolored Antpitta), G. nuchalis (Chestnut-naped Antpitta), G. albigula (White-throated Antpitta), G. erythroleuca (Red-and-white Antpitta), G. hypoleuca (White-bellied Antpitta), G. flavotincta (Yellow-breasted Antpitta), G. przewalskii (Rusty-tinged Antpitta), G. capitalis (Bay Antpitta), G. griseonucha (Gray-naped Antpitta), G. rufula (Rufous Antpitta), G. quitensis (Tawny Antpitta), and G. milleri (Brown-banded Antpitta). Chapman (1912, 1917) considered erythrotis to be sister to milleri.
