Shown above is the subspecies Amazona aestiva xanthopteryx, also called the Yellow-winged Amazon,
which has a yellow "shoulder" and leading edge (but, unlike the "Yellow-shouldered Amazon", has a blue brow). The Yellow-winged Blue-fronted also
generally has more yellow on its face than its red-shouldered cousin.
The Yellow-winged Blue-fronted Amazon is native to Bolivia, eastern Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina.
Some Blue-fronted Amazons have an entirely blue face without yellow on the head, particularly those from north-western Argentina.
