The sayaca tanager ( Thraupis sayaca) is a species of in the family , the . It is a common resident in northeastern, central, and southeastern ( or sanhaçu ), and , , , and northeastern (where they are known as celestinos or celestinas). A few are recorded from far southeastern , but its status there is unclear, in part due to the potential of confusion with the very similar juveniles of the blue-grey tanager.

It occurs in a wide range of open to semiopen habitats, but generally avoids the interior of dense forest (such as the Amazon). This tanager visits farmland in search of orchards and adapts readily to urban environment, as long as some arboreal cover and a supply of fruits are available. It feeds on flowers, buds, and insects,José Felipe Monteiro Pereira, Aves e Pássaros Comuns do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Technical Books Editora, 2008, , pg.124 and this lifestyle has helped it to become perhaps the most — or one of the most — common urban birds in southeastern Brazil, along with the rufous-bellied thrush.


Taxonomy
The sayaca tanager was formally described in 1766 by the Swedish naturalist in the 12th edition of his under the binomial name Tanagra sayaca. In 1648, well before the introduction of the binomial system, the German naturalist had described the sayaca tanager as the Sayacu in his Historia Naturalis Brasiliae. The specific epithet is from Saí-acú meaning "very lively"; it was applied to various tanagers.
