Fuertes's Parrot (Hapalopsittaca fuertesi)
About the Fuertes's Parrot
Fuertes's parrot (Hapalopsittaca fuertesi), also known as the indigo-winged parrot, is an Endangered species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is endemic to Colombia. What is now Fuerte's parrot was at one time considered a subspecies of the rusty-faced parrot (H. amazonina). The two of them and the red-faced parrot (H. pyrrhops) form a superspecies. Fuerte's parrot is monotypic. The species' English name and specific epithet honor Louis Agassiz Fuertes, "one of the 'greats' of American bird art".
