I saw this bird last week at a parrot roost in South Pasadena. Among the hordes of red-crowned parrots, I photographed this one. I initially thought it was just another red-crowned but was wondering if this could be red-lored. Any thoughts?

Lilac-crowned shouldn't show yellow beneath the eye, and also I thought that the red on the lilac-crowned parrot should be strictly in front of the eye.

True dat. The bird pictured is more consistent with a Yellow-cheeked (also known as Red-lored) Amazon
