The cotingas are a large family, Cotingidae, of suboscine passerine birds found in Central America and tropical South America.

They range in size from 12–13 cm (4.7–5.1 in) of the fiery-throated fruiteater (Pipreola chlorolepidota) up to 48–51 cm (19–20 in) of the Amazonian umbrellabird (Cephalopterus ornatus).[1][2]
