Caïque à ventre blanc - Pionites leucogaster

This chunky little parrot is native to the Amazon rainforest, south of the Amazon forest. North of the Amazon is a closely related, but distinctly different species, the Black-capped Parrot (P. melanocephala), and the two forms have been considered a single species (they do sometimes hybridize in the wild in areas where their respective ranges overlap). The English name is sometimes given with caique in place of parrot .
