Tooth-billed Tanager
The tooth-billed tanager (''Piranga lutea'') is a medium-sized American songbird in the family Cardinalidae. Taxonomy There six subspecies of ''Piranga lutea'': * ''Piranga lutea testacea'' (highlands of northern Costa Rica and eastern Panama) * ''Piranga lutea faceta'' ( Santa Marta Mountains in northern Colombia, mountains of northern Venezuela and Trinidad) * ''Piranga lutea haemalea'' ( Amazonas and Bolívar in southern Venezuela, the Guianas, Serra Imeri in northern Brazil) * ''Piranga lutea toddi'' (mountains of central Colombia) * ''Piranga lutea desidiosa'' (southwestern Colombia) * ''Piranga lutea lutea'' (southwestern Colombia and northwestern Bolivia) The tooth-billed tanager is sometimes treated as part of a more broadly circumscribed hepatic tanager species, where it makes up the ''lutea'' subspecies group (highland hepatic tanager). However, the IOC World Bird List splits these birds into three species, also recognising ''Piranga hepatica'' (the hepatic tan ...

Birds Of The Venezuelan Coastal Range
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the common ostrich. There are over 11,000 living species and they are split into 44 orders. More than half are passerine or "perching" birds. Birds have wings whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have furt ...

Piranga
''Piranga'' is a genus of birds long placed in the tanager family, but now considered members of the family Cardinalidae. The genus name ''Piranga'' is from Tupi language, Tupi word ''tijepiranga'', the name for an unknown small bird. Similar in shape and habits to the true tanagers, their coloration betrays their actual relationships. They are essentially red, orange, or yellow all over, except the tail and wings, and in some species also the back. Such extensive lipochrome coloration (except on the belly) is very rare in true tanagers, but is widespread among the Cardinalidae. These songbirds are found high in tree canopies, and are not very gregarious in their breeding areas. ''Piranga'' species pick insects from leaves, or sometimes in flight. They also take some fruit. Several species are bird migration, migratory, breeding in North America and wintering in the tropics.
