Brown-backed Parrotlet

Touit melanonotus (Wied-Neuwied, M 1820)

The brown-backed parrotlet also known as the black-backed parrotlet, the black-eared parrotlet, and Wied's parrotlet, is a small green parrot found in south-eastern Brazil from Bahia to southern São Paulo. It has a dark brown mantle and back, brown ear coverts, and red outer tail with back tips. They frequent humid forest from 500–1,000 m (1,600–3,300 ft), and are mostly found in small flocks of 3–20 birds. Source: Wikipedia
