A hybrid with a red forehead mixed with yellow, as well as a light muddy-colored beak and lighter cheeks. Overall, the bird is mostly green with some red and blue flight feathers.
These hybrids were first recorded in the collection of C. Smith in 1972. They have a bright yellow face with a small amount of blue present. Based on the yellow shoulder coloration, the pictured individual likely had a xanthopteryx subspecies blue-fronted parent.
A dry green bird with a faded yellow crown and yellow cheek markings. Like the parent species, they will always have muddy-colored beaks.
The features of each species appear to “cancel out”, leaving the hybrid as a bland green bird with few noticeable similarities to either of the parents. However, the collar feathers are a slight maroon, the beak color takes after the vinaceous amazon parent, and small patches of yellow feathers can be seen between the eyes.
A primarily green bird with a small cluster of yellow feathers on the very top of the head. Although it cannot be seen clearly, there appears to be no strong yellow marking on the nape. The beak should always be muddy-colored.
