Milena tells us that "I saw a behaviour unfamiliar to me which was completely unexpected. The diademed tanager was at the loquat tree. I thought it would eat the fruits but I saw it sally to snatch an insect. After that, I took these two photos where it kept eating insects instead of fruits.
I mentioned this to an observer who proposed that since this is breeding time feeding needs require a high-protein diet and they turn to insects since they are highly nutritional".
Following the thread of reasoning this individual should be a female (the diademed tanager shows no dichromatism) which is the one that invests energy to produce eggs.
