Comments

• Link arthropods.

Done.

• Link fledgling.

Done.

• "by the IUCN. However" explain IUCN before using the initialism.

Done.

• "genus Tangara. Within" that's a dab page.

Fixed.

• "and golden tanager. This" overlinked.

Should have been golden-eared, fixed.

• "tanager.[7] All three subspecies are recognized" -> "tanager,[7] all of which are recognized"

Done.

• "Zimmer, 1943:" why not in parentheses like the others.

The parentheses are actually a way to show that a species or subspecies was described by the author in a different name than the one currently assigned i.e. the genus was different when the author described it.

• "weighing 28 g (0.99 oz)." average?

That it is an average is mentioned earlier in the sentence: I've reworded it so that it is maybe slightly clearer.

• "have 7 other species' seven.

Done.

• A couple of [clarification needed] tags in there.

Gleaning was already linked, and I've added an explanation. The second tag is after a subspecies name which has already been mentioned, so maybe you could remove it if you think it's clear enough.

• Date formats in the references should be consistent, either DD MM YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD, but not a mixture.

Fixed, all refs are now YYYY-MM-DD

That's all I have for now. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 19:42, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

The flame-faced tanager (Tangara parzudakii) is a species of bird in the tanager family, Thraupidae. It is endemic to South America and is found in the eastern Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, its natural habitat being subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The flame-faced tanager is a distinctive-looking species with black and opalescent-green upperparts, opalescent-green and buff underparts, and a deep-red and yellow face. The subspecies T. p. lunigera lacks the deep red on the face, which is replaced with orangish-red. It is an omnivorous bird, feeding on fruit and arthropods found mostly on mossy branches. It breeds in the rainy season with eggs laid in clutches of two and fledglings fed by both parents. Although it is listed as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, it is facing population decline due to habitat destruction. This flame-faced tanager of the subspecies T. p. parzudakii was photographed perching on a branch in the Parque Verde y Agua in Colombia's Cundinamarca Department.
