You are a very prolific writer of birds and you do not deserve to have your GANs sit there collect dust! This is well written, but I have some quibbles regarding MOS and prose. I will continue with the rest of the criteria later.

Lede

• Perhaps add a caption to the distribution map? Maybe along the lines of "Distribution of the T. xanthocephala". This is just a personal preference though.

Done.

• "It is the most frugivorous species in the genus Tangara, but also feeds on insects" replace "but" with "although it", otherwise it will be an incorrect comma-clause sentence.

Done.

Taxonomy and systematics

• "on the basis of a specimen from Peru", more concise would be "based on a specimen from Peru".

Done.

• "The generic name Tangara is from the Tupí word tangara, meaning dancer" I would put "dancer" in quotation marks as it is the translation.

Done.

Description

• "orbital area (region around eye)" --> "orbital area (region around the eyes)"

Done.

• "Juveniles are similar to adults, but duller and more greenish" remove the comma, incorrect main clause comma.

Done.

Distribution and habitat

This section feels dull; every sentence except the first one begin with "It". Could you change that?

I've rephrased the section, could you go over it again to see if it's better?

Much better!

Diet

• "although fruit are foraged at all heights" --> "although fruit is foraged at all heights"; incorrect intransitive verb.

Done.

• "Fruit are mainly gleaned while upright" ditto.

Done.

Breeding

• "placed at an height" --> "placed at a height"

Done.

• "The only known nest was found in November and was placed at an height of 12 m (39 ft) in moss on the underside of the lowest branch of a tree. Eggs are laid in clutches of two.", could you fuse these two sentences into one? I assume (I don't have access to the source) they are related as per information about breeding in the lede.

Merged.

Status

• I would personally change the section name to "Conservation".

The title of the section is based on the Wikiproject Birds recommendation.

No problem.

• "lack of significant decline in population", more concise would be "lack of significant population decline".

Done.

• "However, the species is threatened by habitat destruction throughout its range", remove "throughout its range". It is unnecessary as habitat destruction is by definition when natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species.

Done.

@AryKun: I see that the article fulfils all criteria but I need to further examine the second one about WP:RS and WP:OR. Ping me when you have addressed my comments, good luck! Wretchskull (talk) 16:08, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

@Wretchskull: I've dealt with all of the concerns you've pointed out. AryKun (talk) 16:32, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Answered your questions above. Continuing review:

MOS

• Remove all links of countries as per WP:OVERLINK.

Done.

References

• Add the IUCN ref to the distribution caption, or whatever ref the map is based on.

I don't think that a ref is necessary, as the image page already has what the map is based on. There are many examples of articles that don't provide a ref for the range map (eg Peregrine falcon).

• Ref 1 and 7 both lead to the same IUCN page (2016 version).

I can't figure out how to merge them, since the first ref is from the infobox.

• Ref 5 states that "Saffron crowned tanager" is a synonym, but it doesn't have a reference on that. I have trouble finding other sources that support this synonym and no other taxon identifiers have the synonym.

I think AviBase is considered a reliable source for taxonomic and common names (I've used it for several GA's and an FA).

• Every single paragraph from the description-section and below use only one source, apart from one in the status-section. If you have other reliable sources (or ones that you have already used above), add them and make some ref variety.

I don't have access to any other sources that could be used for these.

• Refs are WP:RS, grey area on ref 5, AGF on subscription-based refs, Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows no plagiarism.

@Wretchskull: I've addressed your comments. AryKun (talk) 04:07, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

@AryKun: The article passes the GA criteria and therefore is promoted to GA. Good job! Though one thing to note is that a quick search on google scholar shows 10 results for this species in various sources that could allow better ref variety. I'm unsure if they are useful or not, or whether they are necessary, but that is up to you to decide. You can also implement my comments on your other bird GANs.
