The order is divided into three suborders, Tyranni (non-singing, Americas), Passeri (oscines or songbirds), and the basal New Zealand wrens. [9] Oscines have the best control of their syrinx muscles among birds, producing a wide range of songs and other vocalizations, though some of them, such as the crows, do not sound musical to human beings.

Adult males have a gray hood, black lores and a black patch on the throat and breast.
