Parrot / Peru (1 Viewer)

Can you please help with this parrot? Spotted last September in Puerto Maldonado area.

Originally I thought it was Mealy Parrot, but it may be a different species.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I tend to agree, even though the ones we see here have more yellow on the crown than this photo shows.

Some don´t seem to have any yellow on the crown-but I don´t know if it is a regional thing, age related or just individual variation...
