Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Psittaciformes > Psittacidae > Pionites > Pionites leucogasterPionites leucogaster (White-bellied Parrot; Green-thighed Parrot)The green-thighed parrot (Pionites leucogaster) is one of the four species in the genus Pionites of the family Psittacidae. Originally the species Pionites leucogaster (also known as the white-bellied parrot or white-bellied caique in the aviculture business) contain three subspecies including the nominate race, but recent morphological work suggests the species should be split into three. |
