Madeira Parakeet (Pyrrhura snethlageae)

Madeira Parakeets have a very complicated taxonomy and just about all of my usual resources have something different to say.  It looks like they are currently a species on their own merit though they were once a subspecies of the Painted Parakeet and often confused with the Santarem Parakeet which has a range further north in the Amazonia National Park of Brazil.

They are nearly endemic to Brazil with just a small incursion into Bolivia.  They are most easily seen from the Canopy Tower at Cristalino.
