The Sibley-Monroe checklist was a landmark document in the study of birds. It drew on extensive DNA-DNA hybridisation studies to reassess the relationships between modern birds.
The puffbirds and their relatives in the near passerine family Bucconidae are tropical tree-dwelling insectivorous birds that are found from South America up to Mexico. Together with their closest relatives, the jacamars, they form a divergent lineage within the order Piciformes, though the two families are sometimes elevated to a separate order Galbuliformes. Lacking the iridescent colours of the jacamars, puffbirds are mainly brown, rufous or grey, with large heads, large eyes, and flattened bills with a hooked tip. Their loose, abundant plumage and short tails makes them look stout and puffy, giving rise to the English name of the family. The species range in size from the rufous-capped nunlet, at 13 cm (5.1 in) and 14 g (0.49 oz), to the white-necked puffbird, at up to 29 cm (11 in) and 106 g (3.7 oz).

The striolated bunting is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the finches, Fringillidae.
The swallow-winged puffbird is a species of bird in the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds. It is also called the swallow-wing. It is the only species in the genus Chelidoptera.
The white-chested puffbird is a species of puffbird in the family Bucconidae. It is one of seven species in the genus Malacoptila. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical and tropical moist lowland forests.
The moustached puffbird is a species of puffbird in the family Bucconidae. It is one of seven species in the genus Malacoptila.
The crescent-chested puffbird is a species of bird in the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds. It is endemic to Brazil.
The white-necked puffbird is a species of puffbird in the family Bucconidae.
The Guianan puffbird is a species of puffbird in the family Bucconidae. It is found in forest and woodland in north-eastern South America, in far eastern Venezuela, north-eastern Brazil, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. It formerly included the white-necked puffbird as a subspecies. The two differ markedly in bill size, plumage, and voice. Consequently, the two were separated by SACC in 2004. As presently defined, the Guianan puffbird is monotypic.
The brown-banded puffbird is a species of bird in the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds. It is one of six species in the genus Notharchus.
The Caatinga puffbird or spot-bellied puffbird is a species of bird in the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds. It is endemic to eastern Brazil. It is found in various open to semi-open habitats, ranging from arid Caatinga to semi-humid woodland along the lower Amazon River. It is generally fairly common, and consequently considered to be of least concern by the IUCN. The Chaco or streak-bellied puffbird in the southern part of its range was formerly considered conspecific, together called the spot-backed puffbird. Some taxonomic authorities, including the American Ornithological Society, continue to classify it there.
The barred puffbird is a species of puffbird in the Bucconidae family. It lives in forests in the Tumbes-Chocó-Magdalena of Panama, Colombia and Ecuador.
The eastern striolated puffbird was considered conspecific with the western striolated puffbird
