Lilac-crowned Amazon
Lilac-crowned Amazon
Amazona finschi
A simple vista
13' (33 cm). Lime green overall, lighter on breast and abdomen. Distinct band of deep red-maroon across the forehead between the eyes. Lilac-blue across the top of the head, over the nape and sides of the neck. Legs and feet are blue-gray. The end of the tail is noticeably longer than similar species, but squared off, not as pointed as similar species. May be confused in mixed flocks, with the similar Red-Crowned Amazon, Amazona viridigenalis.
