The scarlet tanager is a medium-sized American songbird. Until recently, it was placed in the tanager family, but it and other members of its genus are now classified as belonging to the cardinal family. The species' plumage and vocalizations are similar to other members of the cardinal family, although the "Piranga" species lacks the thick conical bill that many cardinals possess.
