Observation details

Found by loud calls, some of which were like laughing call of Yellow-headed Parrot. One bird is probably a Yellow-crowned Parrot: head all green with yellow only on the forehead, diffuse white eye ring. The other bird was similar, but the yellow forehead was outlined in red. We were speculating hybrid Yellow-crowned x Red-lored. Initial distant photos of two birds together show red on the foreheads of both birds (one with a yellow forehead outlined in red, and the other with a yellow forehead with a bit of red only across the bottom of the yellow region). After the birds flew out of sight and we refound them, subsequent close photos of two birds show one whose forehead is only yellow with no red; the yellow is slightly darker and slightly orangish at the bottom of the forehead, which I think is what led to the appearence of some red in distant photos.
