The green-capped tanager (Stilpnia meyerdeschauenseei) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is endemic to forest edge and gardens at altitudes of 1,450–2,200 m (4,760–7,220 ft) in Puno, Peru, and La Paz, Bolivia. It is fairly common and possibly spreading,[2] but its small population has led to it being evaluated as Near Threatened by BirdLife International and IUCN.[1] It closely resembles the widespread burnished-buff tanager (S. cayana), but its mantle is bluer (male) or greener (female), and its crown is greenish-buff.[2] Its specific name commemorates the ornithologist Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee.[3]
