Golden-shouldered Parrot

Golden-shouldered Parrot adult males combine turquoise blue, grayish brown, golden yellow, and salmon pink in distinctly separated plumage areas. The back and much of the wings are grayish brown, with conspicuous golden yellow shoulder patches; the turquoise breast gives way to salmon pink on the lower belly. A black crown and pale yellow forehead band contrast sharply with the turquoise blue facial feathers.
