Please, check this one! I think it is Amazona amazonica, not Aestiva. That one should have more yellow around the eyes and some reddish/yellowish parts on the bug. In your we also can see some orange, but on the wings. http://www.biolib.cz/en/image/id10407/ http://ibc.lynxeds.com/photo/orange-winged-amazon-amazona-amazonica/male-perched-branch-tree-local-forest-along-river-just- http://avibase.bsc-eoc.org/species.jsp?lang=DE&avibaseid=4B268FD25510C6CB&sec=flickr http://ibc.lynxeds.com/species/blue-fronted-amazon-amazona-aestiva
