Editing Tanager (section)

==Description==
Tanagers are small to medium-sized birds. The shortest-bodied species, the [[white-eared conebill]], is {{convert|9|cm|in|sigfig=1|abbr=on}} long and weighs {{convert|6|g|sigfig=1|abbr=on}}, barely smaller than the [[short-billed honeycreeper]]. The longest, the [[magpie tanager]] is {{convert|28|cm|in|abbr=on}} and weighs {{convert|76|g|abbr=on}}. The heaviest is the [[white-capped tanager]], which weighs {{convert|114|g|sigfig=3|abbr=on}} and measures about {{convert|24|cm|in|abbr=on}}. Both sexes are usually the same size and weight.

Tanagers are often brightly colored, but some species are black and white.  Males are typically more brightly colored than females and juveniles.   Most tanagers have short, rounded wings. The shape of the [[beak|bill]] seems to be linked to the species' [[foraging]] habits.
