Lilac-crowned Amazon

Lilac-crowned Amazon adults of both sexes are predominantly green, with darker feather margins giving the plumage a subtly scalloped appearance. Dark edging is especially evident across the back and breast; the wings carry blue flight-feather edges and a red patch on the secondaries, while the green tail has yellowish-green tips. The defining head pattern combines a maroon forehead with lilac-blue feathers covering the crown and extending onto the nape.
