Pileated parrot
The pileated parrot (''Pionopsitta pileata''), also known as the red-capped parrot (leading to easy confusion with the Australian ''Purpureicephalus spurius''), is a medium-small species of parrot with a total length of about . It is found in or near Atlantic Forest in south-eastern Brazil, far north-eastern Argentina, and eastern Paraguay. A local name in Paraguayan Guaraní is ''cúiu cúiu''.
Unlike all other species previously placed in the genus ''Pionopsitta'', the pileated parrot does not have a contrasting brownish-olive chest, and recently it was established via mtDNA that it is indeed distinct enough for the others to be moved into a separate genus, ''Pyrilia'', again making ''Pionopsitta'' monotypic. The plumage of the pileated parrot is overall green with bluish flight feathers, a faint brownish-maroon auricular patch (lacking in juveniles) and, in the male, a bright red forehead that extends down to just below the eyes.
