Red-capped parrot

The red-capped parrot (''Purpureicephalus spurius''), also called the pileated parakeet (leading to easy confusion with the South American ''Pionopsitta pileata''), and king parrot locally in Western Australia, is an Australian species of broad-tailed parrot related to the rosellas.
First described by German naturalist Heinrich Kuhl in 1820, from a collection in Albany, Western Australia, the red-capped parrot was placed in the monotypic genus ''Purpureicephalus'' by Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854. The generic name is an amalgam of the Latin ''purpureus'' "purple", and the Ancient Greek ''kephalé'' "head". The specific epithet ''spurius'' is the Latin adjective meaning "illegitimate", and refers to the very different adult and immature plumages (hence appearing unrelated).〔 Besides red-capped parrot, vernacular names include pileated parrot, western king parrot, purple-crowned parrot, grey parrot or hookbill.〔
==Description==

Measuring 34–38 cm (14–15 in) in length and weighing 105–125 g, the adult red-capped parrot is a distinctive and easily recognised medium-sized parrot. The adult male has a crimson crown, grey-brown lores, and green-yellow cheeks and a narrow long upper mandible. The upperparts are dark green, the rump yellow-green, the tail green with dark blue tip.〔 The underparts are purplish-blue and the flanks green and red. The female is similar but duller overall, and the juvenile has a dark green crown, reddish frontal band, and red-brown underparts.
