| Burnished-buff
Tanager Tangara
cayana Brazilian name: saíra-amarela |

Brazil
There are several subspecies of Burnished-buff Tanager and they are normally divided into two groups: the cayana group found north of the Amazon and in Venezuela and Colombia, and the flava group found in south and east Brazil. |

 |
The main difference between the two groups is that the male of the flava group, as shown in photos 1, 2 and 6, has a broad black line running from the throat down the middle of the belly. This is lacking in the cayana group. The female, seen in photos 3 and 4, is much duller and lacks the black below. I think that photo 5 might be of a young male. | |||

They are found in savannas,
cerrado,
gallery woodland and forest borders.
There are recordings on xeno-canto, a distribution map from NatureServe and additional information available via Avibase. There is a page in Portuguese on Wikiaves. |
