Pileated Parrot Pionopsitta pileata

Only the male Pileated Parrot (above right) has a red crown; the female (above left) is mainly green with a red blush on her cheek.

Confusingly also called the Red-capped Parrot, a name usually applied to the Australian Red-capped Parrot.

The only species in its genus (others were recently moved out to Pyrilia/(Gypopsitta) on new DNA evidence), it is native to south-eastern Brazil, north-eastern Argentina and east Paraguay.
