Stilpnia
''Stilpnia'' is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. Many of these tanagers have a contrasting cap or hood and most have green or gold and throats. Taxonomy and species list These species were formerly placed in the genus '' Tangara''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that ''Tangara'' was polyphyletic. In the rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, the genus, ''Stilpnia'', was erected with the black-headed tanager as the type species. The genus name is from the Ancient Greek στιλπνή/''stilpni'' meaning "glittering" or "glistening". The genus contains 14 species: * Black-headed tanager, ''Stilpnia cyanoptera'' * Silver-backed tanager, ''Stilpnia viridicollis'' * Sira tanager, ''Stilpnia phillipsi'' * Straw-backed tanager, ''Stilpnia argyrofenges'' * Black-capped tanager, ''Stilpnia heinei'' * Golden-hooded tanager, ''Stilpnia larvata'' * Blue-necked tanager, ''Stilpnia cyanicollis'' * Masked tanager, ''Stilpnia ni ...

Thraupidae
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.

Black-capped Tanager
The black-capped tanager (''Stilpnia heinei'') is one of the many species of Neotropical bird in the family Thraupidae. It lives in mountains of Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela year-round. This bird can often be found in open landscapes, alone or in pairs, hiding under branches of trees and bushes. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. Taxonomy and nomenclature The black-capped tanager was described in 1851, from a type specimen collected in Colombia. It is a member of the genus '' Stilpnia'', in the tanager family, Thraupidae. In Spanish, it is locally called "Tangara gorrinegra" or "Tangara coroninegra". The black-capped tanager is a songbird (Passeriformes). The tanagers are a very diverse group with over 300 species that account for more than 10% of all birds in the Neotropics. The genus name ''Stilpnia'' was proposed in 2016 instead of ''Tangara'' for ''T. heinei'' in order to match the phylogenetic relatio ...

Black-headed Tanager
The black-headed tanager (''Stilpnia cyanoptera'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in the Andes of northeastern Colombia and the Venezuelan Coastal Range. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, and heavily degraded former forest.
