Oreomanes fraseri The giant conebill (Conirostrum binghami) is a small passerine bird, one of the tanager family.
It is closely related to the regular conebills Conirostrum though it differs in its larger size and nuthatch-like foraging habits.
The giant conebill was formally described in 1860 by the English zoologist Philip Sclater from a specimen collected by Louis Fraser.
[3][4] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the giant conebill was embedded in a clade containing members of the genus Conirostrum.
This had been introduced in 1919 by the American ornithologist Frank Chapman based on a specimen collected near Machu Picchu in Peru.
