Ochre-marked Parakeet
The Ochre-marked Parakeet (Pyrrhura cruentata) is a species of parrot native to Brazil. It is also known as Blue-throated Parakeet, and Red-eared Conure in English and Cotorra Tiriba and Perico Grande in Spanish.
Description
This colourful parakeet is a predominantly green bird with conspicuous red patches on its belly, rump, and shoulder and before, below and behind the eye. The crown is dark brown to blackish, becoming mottled on the nape of the neck, and there is a broad, bright blue bib on the chest, extending thinly around the back of the neck to form a faint collar. The outer primaries are blue, and the tail is olive-green above, and brownish red below.
