Birds of humid Andean forests include mountain-toucans, quetzals and the Andean Cock-of-the-rock, while mixed species flocks dominated by tanagers and Furnariids commonly are seen-in contrast to several vocal but typically cryptic species of wrens, tapaculos and antpittas.

Many birds in other families are also commonly called " finches ", including some species in the very similar-looking waxbills or estrildid finches ( family Passeridae, subfamily Estrildinae ) of the Old World tropics and Australia ; several groups of the bunting and American sparrow family ( Emberizidae ); and Darwin's finches of the Galapagos islands, which provided evidence of natural selection and are now recognized to be peculiar tanagers ( Thraupidae ).

The icterid family of the New World is sometimes called the blackbird family because of some species ' superficial resemblance to the Common Blackbird and other Old World thrushes, but they are not evolutionarily close, being related to the New World warblers and tanagers.

* The New World warblers are closely related to the tanagers, and some species like the conebills Conirostrum and the Bananaquit have been placed into either group by different authorities.

* Green-tailed Warbler, Yellow-breasted Chat, and White-winged Warbler are other species where there have been questions as to whether they should be considered as warblers or tanagers.

* Genus Ramphocelus – silver-billed tanagers ( 9 species )

* Genus Saltator ( 16 species ; traditionally placed in Cardinalidae, but biochemical evidence suggests they may be tanagers or a sister group )

* Genus Piranga – northern tanagers ( 9 species )

Specifically their numbers are declining in some areas due to habitat fragmentation, but on a global scale tanagers are a plentiful species.

The different species may appear more similar to grosbeaks, tanagers or even shrikes than to cardinals, and the patterns of their eggs are also conspicuously diverse.

Where Saltator species have been included in cladistic studies they appear to be related to various tanagers.

Although many types of bird are present, this site is known for its tanagers ( Summer Tanager and Scarlet Tanager ) and the Yellow-billed Cuckoo.

Western tanagers do not typically occur in the Caribbean lowlands.

Most are Central and South American birds that were formerly placed in the American sparrow family ( Emberizidae ), but are now known to be tanagers ( Thraupidae ) closely related to Darwins finches.
