Yolanda:

I admit checking the train would make common sense, however if I
remember correctly, she found an invisible boy pretty fast. Either
she cast a spell or she knows how to search a train long enough to
carry all of Hogwarts quickly. Remember, in JKR's mind, there are
1000 students at Hogwarts. That's a lot of compartments.

So, Tonks knows a spell that can find people who are concealed or
she used her "auror skills" to search a train quickly. I think that
counts as skill either way. It may not be a heroic battle against
Bellatrix, but it is validation of her as an auror.

Cassie:

I have to disagree with you here, Yolanda.

>From HBP page 158:

"How did you find me?"
"I noticed you hadn't left the train and I know you had that cloak. I
thought you might be hiding for some reason. When I saw the blinds were
drawn down on that compartment I thought I'd check."

So it wasn't a spell she used.  It was just common sense.
