Parrots (Psittacidae)
Painted Parakeet (Pyrrhura picta) - HBW 4, p. 440
French: Conure versicolore
German: Rotzügelsittich
Spanish: Cotorra Pintada
Other common names: Painted Conure
Taxonomy: Psittacus pictus P. L. S. Müller, 1776, Cayenne.
Superspecific relations unclear, with strongest relations to P. leucotis and P. melanura. Some interest in establishing disjunct forms in NW of range as full species, but variation is as great within apparently contiguous “Amazonian” populations; nevertheless, race eisenmanni may be closer to P. leucotis than to present species, and eisenmanni and caeruleiceps appear closer to each other than either is to others in the P. picta-P. leucotis complex. Nine subspecies recognized.
