This tanager ranges widely through Central and South America. In Bolivia it occurs in forest and palm groves as well as cultivated land and urban parks.
It is about 15–19 cm long, with grey-olive to olive plumage, a somewhat paler crown, dark flight feathers and tail edged in green. A yellow wingbar shows in flight; females are slightly duller.
In Bolivia it is recorded in lowland and lower-Andean forest, forest edges, palm groves, cultivated areas, and urban parks. It forages mainly in the canopy alone, in pairs or small groups, and in mixed flocks.
