Austral Parakeet (Enicognathus ferrugineus)

Formerly placed in the monotypic genus "Microsittace," this conure ranges further south than any other species of parrot in the world. Its short, stubby bill gives its face a "pushed-in" look. Sometimes called Austral Conure or Emerald Parakeet, this one is presumably the more southerly nominate race characterized by larger size and paler coloration.
