Brazil
The Azure-shouldered Tanager is found in south-east Brazil although there is an old and doubtful record from Paraguay. It inhabits forest on the slopes of the Serra do Mar and is more of a forest bird than the very similar Sayaca Tanager T. sayaca. See the distribution map at xeno-canto. |

Other differences from Sayaca are its heavier bill, the deep blue shoulders (which can be hard to see) and a greenish tinge to the flanks of the belly. | |||
