==Description== [[File:Amazona barbadensis -pet-upper body-4-3c.jpg|thumb|upright|right|Front view]] The yellow-shouldered amazon is mainly green and about 33 cm long (~13 inches). It has a whitish forehead and lores, and a yellow crown, ocular region and - often - ear coverts and chin. The bare eye-ring is white. The thighs and the bend of the wing ("shoulder") are yellow, but both can be difficult to see. The throat, cheeks and belly often have a bluish tinge. As most members of the genus ''Amazona'', it has broad dark blue tips to the [[remiges]] and a red [[wing-speculum]].<ref name = BLI-1677>{{cite web| publisher =BirdLife International (2008) |url = http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/species/index.html?action=SpcHTMDetails.asp&sid=1677&m=0 |title = Species factsheet: ''Amazona barbadensis'' | access-date = 22 August 2008}}</ref> The yellow-shouldered amazon can be distinguished from the very similar [[orange-winged amazon]] by the latter's lack of yellow on its shoulders and blue colouration around the eyes. Another way of distinguishing it from other ''Amazona'' species is its somewhat higher pitched vocalizations.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Yellow-shouldered Parrot - eBird|url=https://ebird.org/species/yespar1|access-date=2022-01-04|website=ebird.org|language=en}}</ref>
