Greater Antillean Tanagers
Phaenicophilidae
Phaenicophilidae are a family of passerine birds mostly endemic to the West Indies. They are variously called the Greater Antillean Tanagers or the Hispaniolan Tanagers. The family contains nine species in five genera. These species were historically classified within the families Thraupidae (tanagers) and Parulidae (New World warblers), but genetic studies have confirmed they form a distinct clade.
