Figure 1. Male Burnished-buff Tanager. I observed Tangara cayana in a variety of habitats, for example in gardens in Guaramiranga (this photo), in banana plantations in Itapajé (in rather degraded surroundings), and in the dry forest of the hills of Mãe-da-lua reserve. I did not see it in semi-arid Caatinga lowlands.

Figure 2. This is presumably a female Tangara cayana. I saw it in company of the adult male shown above, on the same bunch of bananas.
