Your welcome Patricia! It's a great picture =)

You are welcome, Patricia! In Colombia we use more the word Guacamaya, than Guacamayo.
Ceci
"Guacamayo" was my "on the tip of the tongue" word...

Thank you much Stian and Carolina, yes, you are right and they are very different indeed I could tell but couldn´t find the right ID. Greetings and thanks once more =).

Hi Patricia! Just as Stian suggested, this is a Blue and Yellow Macaw, not a Hyacinth Macaw, Hyacinths have cobalt blue feathers with a yellow eye ring and yellow patch of skin next to the lower bill, just like this: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8023935 :)
