Brazil
The Chestnut-backed Tanager is distributed in south-east Brazil, Uruguay and adjacent areas of Paraguay and Argentina. See the distribution map at xeno-canto. It is found in forest borders, shrubby areas and gardens up to about 1,000 metres.

It looks very similar to Black-backed Tanager S. peruviana except for the colour of its back.
