cheeks. Shoulders vary between the species. A.a.
aestivate will have pure red shoulders. A.a.
xanthopteryx will have red mixed with more or less
yellow. Both have red marks at the secondary wing
feathers. Wings: Primaries dark green to dark gray
with a bluish shine at the outer web, the
secondaries have a red mark. The red band in the
tail and the red marks of the secondaries join into
a red semicircle when the bird is "on display" with
a spread tail. There is a great variation in colors
between individual blue front amazons. Their beak
is black, and legs are gray. Their iris is
red-orange.
