The Olive-green tanager is yellower below, with distinct upper and lower halves, and fluffier. The Sayaca Tanager is obviously blue, not green, but from below in some lights, when both are pale can look similar - the same goes for Golden-chevroned Tanager from below, which can also look similar. Some field guides show the Palm Tanager male with purple tinges, but I didn’t see this. More
