Have a look at this beautiful Amazon! It is one I have never seen before! Any ideas what species it is? (George, I have a feeling you will know)

Id definitely has Chaco Blue Front ( or as you Brits call them "Yellow Winged Amazons"), but I suspect there is also Double Yellow Head mixed in for good measure, or it could be a pied mutation Blue Front

That is a very beautiful Amazon! Love the variations in its colors.
Someone on Craigslist in the Dallas area last week had a Blue Front for sale for a mere $350.00. That is a super low price compared to most CL listings out this way.

For some reason, Blue Fronts have dropped in value here as well. On any given day I could get several between $250-300. Looking at the picture again, I am going with the pied mutation: the yellow blocks are too clear with no edging to be a hybrid. Beautiful bird nonetheless
