We can ID this parakeet as a Brown-throated Parakeet as follows:
- Identified by Merlin as a Brown-throated Parakeet.
- Some of the various subspecies of the Brown-throated Parakeet have quite different plumage than the nominate race. Also, the lighting was terrible as the parakeet was in the middle of a tree.
- Can't really see much of the underparts, but some yellow does show.
- The upperparts are greenish with some bluish on the wings and the tail.
- The crown appears bluish-gray.
- Grayish eyering with some yellowish/whitish feathers surrounding it.
The Brown-throated Parakeet is a new species to our ebird Photographic Life List.
