The multicolored Brassy-breasted Tanager is endemic to the mountains of southeastern Brazil, often joining mixed-species foraging flocks with other tanagers. It is easily distinguished from other similar species by its mostly green plumage with an orange-yellow (brass colored) breast patch, turquoise blue band across the sides of the head and crown, and black forecrown and throat patch. Its diet appears to consist entirely of small fruits and some insects. Its geographical range spans the states of Espírito Santo south to Paraná.
