It is found in lowland Atlantic Rain Forest, a habitat that is under severe threat, although it can migrate seasonally to higher ground. It is also noted as a good "speaker" and consequently is a target of the caged bird trade. As a result of these factors it is classified as Endangered by Birdlife International though, as recently as the 1930's it was regarded as common within its range. | |||

It has a reddish-orange forehead and crown with yellow lores and bluish cheeks. It
has a small red speculum and black primaries as can be seen in photo 3 while the tail has a red subterminal area and
yellowish tips. |
