Plum-headed Parakeet

Psittacula cyanocephala

Plum-headed Parakeet adult males have predominantly green plumage, with a reddish-purple head shading into bluish purple toward the nape and lighter yellow-green underparts. The back and wings are darker green, a maroon patch marks each shoulder, and the long, tapered tail has blue central feathers with whitish tips. A black chin and narrow black neck ring define the lower edge of the head, bordered below by a blue-green collar.
