This is an imature bird, but not a "sanhaçu-do-mamoeiro" or "sanhaçu-cinzento", two commom names in Brazil for the sayaca tanager, but a "sanhaçu-de-encontro-amarelo" (Tangara ornata) as I've suggested.

Thank you!!! First I thought that it was a Sayaca Tanager, but I looked closer and it is a little different

Or Tanager, Blue-gray Thraupis episcopus. But since you have seen the complete bird only you can decide. This might help. http://carolinabirds.org/HTML/SA_Cardinal_Tanager.htm

Needs confirmation but it looks like a Sayaca Tanager
