The golden-chested tanager (Bangsia rothschildi) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Both parts of the Latin binomial honor early ornithologists. Bangsia is named for Outram Bangs, a United States zoologist and collector; the specific epithet rothschildi honors Lionel Walter 2nd Baron Rothschild of Trig who was an English ornithologist, entomologist, collector, and publisher.
Bangsia rothschildi is endemic to the northwestern South American countries of Colombia and Ecuador. [2]
The Golden-chested Tanager can be found in a narrow elevational band of humid and heavily forested tropical lowland evergreen forests, pre-montane forests, forest borders and edges, and pluvial foothill forests in the Lower Tropical Zone in Ecuador and Colombia. Typically the species is seen in the mid-levels and subcanopy forest strata. Additional habitats used by this species include Montane Evergreen Forest. [3]
The Golden-chested Tanager is an attractive glossy dark navy-blue bird, to black tinged blue-violet, featuring bright golden-yellow patches on the chest, the lower-belly to the crissum, and on the underwing coverts which contrasts with the blackish flight-feathers. It is a chunky medium-sized bird with a large head, a robust short mandible, and a relatively short tail. [4]
The silver-throated tanager is a species of passerine bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is found in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and northeastern Peru. It inhabits mossy forests, montane evergreen forests, tropical lowland evergreen forests and forest edges, along with tall secondary forests and disturbed habitat with remnant trees and forest. It is 13 centimetres (5.1 in) long and weighs 22 grams (0.78 oz) on average, and shows slight sexual dimorphism, with duller female plumage. Adult males are mainly bright yellow, with a silvery-white throat bordered above with a black stripe on the cheeks, black streaking on the back, and green edges to the wings and tail. Juveniles are duller and greener.

The yellow-green tanager is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is also known as the yellow-green bush tanager as it was formerly place in the genus Chlorospingus with other bush tanagers. The whole genus was moved to the New World sparrow family Passerellidae when bush tanagers were found to be more closely related to the genus Arremonops. However, recent molecular analysis has discovered that this species is neither a bush tanager or sparrow and the species returned to Thraupidae and placed in the genus Bangsia. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss
