It is predominantly green, with a red throat patch, rump, elongated uppertail-coverts and tip of tail.</p> <p>In 2009 this parrot was downlisted from Endangered to Near Threatened because although it has a very small range within which there has been extensive forest loss and fragmentation, it apparently remains common in degraded and cultivated habitats and there is no evidence of a continuing decline.
