Clements 2008 puts Oreothraupis in Emberizidae, but the page talks about Thraupidae - can anyone clarify / give other authorities' placement?

It's not the only genus. I'm working my way through the Emberizidae now and I have already changed several genera. Obviously there is quite some flux between the tanagers, the cardinals and the buntings.
I changed the family categories according to Clements, usually with making a note that others place them somewhere else. (see also here: Thraupidae.
Maybe someone with more knowledge should write a better comment, but I think we should stick to Clements now.

BTW Nice to have you back Alex

Hi Alex,

Latest IOC list [Gill, F, M Wright and D Donsker. 2009] places Oreothraupis in Thraupidae.

A comment on Tree of Life (Harshman, 2006) "For the present, relationships of Emberizidae are best treated as unresolved."

Welcome back!

Edit -- just seen André's comment - I agree, we should stck with Clements 08

Cheers,
Alan
