a harpy has the body of a literal bird and the head/face of a woman. A siren has a human shaped body with bird-like features (feathers, claws, etc.) Many people get sirens and mermaids confused. This is because the original greek myth was warped by the later storytellers, giving the land-based sirens fishtails and throwing them in the ocean.
