Conirostrum
Typical conebills belong to the tanager genus ''Conirostrum''. They are small tanagers (9–14 cm) found in the forests of South America. They feed in pairs or small flocks by Gleaning (birds), gleaning insects from foliage. The genus consists of two rather distinct subgenera: The first, ''Ateleodacnis'', possibly deserving full generic status, is confined to lowland areas. They are mostly grey in colour and inhabit deciduous woodlands, mangroves or riverbank habitats. The second group, the nominate ''Conirostrum'' subgenus, inhabits the forests of the Andes. They are somewhat more colourful combining grey or blue backs with rufous underparts. Their thin bills led to them being formerly classified as New World warbler, wood-warblers or honeycreepers but genetic data places them in the tanager family Thraupidae. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Conirostrum'' was introduced in 1838 by the French naturalists Alcide d'Orbigny and Frédéric de Lafresnaye with the cinereous ...

Tanager
The tanagers (singular ) comprise the bird family Thraupidae, in the order Passeriformes. The family has a Neotropical distribution and is the second-largest family of birds. It represents about 4% of all avian species and 12% of the Neotropical birds. Traditionally, the family contained around 240 species of mostly brightly colored fruit-eating birds. As more of these birds were studied using modern molecular techniques, it became apparent that the traditional families were not monophyletic. ''Euphonia'' and ''Chlorophonia'', which were once considered part of the tanager family, are now treated as members of the Fringillidae, in their own subfamily (Euphoniinae). Likewise, the genera ''Piranga'' (which includes the scarlet tanager, summer tanager, and western tanager), '' Chlorothraupis'', and '' Habia'' appear to be members of the cardinal family, and have been reassigned to that family by the American Ornithological Society.

Giant Conebill
The giant conebill (''Conirostrum binghami'') is a small passerine bird, one of the tanager family. It is closely related to the regular conebills ''Conirostrum'' though it differs in its larger size and nuthatch-like foraging habits. The giant conebill is in length and weighs . It is grey above, deep chestnut below, and with a white patch on the cheeks. It is found in the Andes from Colombia to Ecuador, and Peru to Bolivia. It lives in ''Polylepis'' trees of the family Rosaceae. The giant conebill lives individually or in groups of 5 or less. It peels bark off ''Polylepis'' trees to find insects. It also eats aphids and sugary solutions secreted by '' Gynoxys''. The species is a seasonal breeder, nesting at the start of the rainy season (September to December in Bolivia where it has been studied). The nest is an open cup set on the branches of ''Polylepis'', and the average clutch size is 1.8 eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs, feed the chicks and remove the feca ...

Blue-backed Conebill
The blue-backed conebill (''Conirostrum sitticolor'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae (South American tanagers). It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Taxonomy The blue-backed conebill was described by French ornithologist Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1840. Who placed it in the genus ''Conirostrum'', along with the other species of conebills. It was originally called the Purple conebill, with two of its subspecies, ''C. s. intermedium'' and ''C. s. cyaneum'' being described as different species, the Venezuelan purple conebill and the Peruvian purple conebill respectively. There are currently three recognized subspecies: *''C. s. sitticolor'' - (Frédéric de Lafresnaye, Lafresnaye, 1840): Cordillera Central (Colombia), Central Ranges of Colombia, through Ecuador into the west slopes of the Andes of northwestern Peru *''C. s. intermedium'' - (Hans von Berlepsch, Berlepsch, ...

Capped Conebill
The capped conebill (''Conirostrum albifrons'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. Taxonomy The capped conebill was described by Frédéric de Lafresnaye as ''Ptyonura albifrons'', which he regarded as a synonym of Muscisaxicola. From the description provided, the type specimen appears to be a female. It is now placed in the ''Conirostrum'' with the other Conebills. The genus name ''Conirostrum'' comes from the latin words "conus" which means cone and "rostrum" which means beak or bill. ''Albifrons'' means "white-fronted" referring to the white crown that males in the north of the range have. There a currently six recognised subspecies: * ''C. a. albifrons'' - ( Lafresnaye, 1842): Central and east Andes of Colombia, Táchira, Venezuela * ''C. a. centralandium'' - ( Schauensee, 1946): An ...
