The green-headed tanager is a bird found in the Atlantic forest in south-eastern Brazil, far eastern Paraguay, and far north-eastern Argentina .

As other members of the genus ''Tangara'', it is a small colorful bird, measuring an average of 13.5 centimeters . While essentially a bird of humid forests, it is also common in orchards and parks, where it moves through the canopy, making itself inconspicuous, as its apparently flashy blue-green coloration camouflages it well amongst the foliage.
