Turquoise-fronted Parrot.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Turquoise-fronted and Orange-winged Parrots overlap widely in Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.\u00a0 Due in part to variation within both species, they are readily confused.\u00a0 If seen clearly, however, they are distinguishable:<\/p><p><u>Facial Pattern:<\/u>\u00a0 Given an opportunity for close study, details of the facial pattern and coloration are diagnostic. \u00a0Both have variable amounts of blue and yellow. \u00a0The key difference is that Orange-fronted always has yellow below the eye and blue besides and above the eye, whereas Turquoise-fronted\u2019s eye is surrounded by yellow (or occasionally no yellow in the face).<\/p><p><u>Wings:<\/u> \u00a0Despite its name, the reddish-orange wing-patch is not the Orange-winged\u2019s most reliable field mark, as the Turquoise-fronted has a similar, but slightly larger, red patch on its wings. \u00a0Depending on the subspecies and age, Turquoise-fronted\u2019s wings usually have a differently colored shoulder, often visible in flight as the leading edge of the wing.\u00a0 Throughout most of Brazil, the leading edge is red or orange.\u00a0 In Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, and adjacent parts of Brazil, <em>xanthopteryx<\/em> has a yellow shoulder, and the leading edge is yellow above, and red or orange below (with largely yellow wing linings).<\/p><p><u>Bill:<\/u>\u00a0 Turquoise-fronted usually has an all-black bill.\u00a0 Orange-winged has a prominent pale patch on the upper mandible\u2014sometimes also a pale patch on the lower mandible.\u00a0 Some Turquoise-fronted show a somewhat pale upper mandible, but it is usually grayish (i.e., black but abraded) whereas on Orange-winged the patch is more tan or horn-colored.<\/p><p><u>Tail:<\/u>\u00a0 The tail patterns of both species are somewhat variable and usually difficult to discern.\u00a0 If seen well, the clearest difference is the Turquoise-fronted has distinct tail bands: red (or red-and-green) at the base, dark in the middle, and pale green at the tips.\u00a0 Orange-fronted often has a dark tail band in the middle of the tail, but it is usually narrower and less distinct.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d251ecf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d251ecf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-83fd881\" data-id=\"83fd881\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b518c0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b518c0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>Polytypic species consisting of two recognized subspecies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-58aeb807 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"58aeb807\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6cc95cba\" data-id=\"6cc95cba\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-380a1235 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"380a1235\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>Alderfer, J., and J.L.
