Birds to compare
Yellow-naped Amazon
Amazona auropalliata
Key differences
Lacks the red forehead and yellow cheeks of the Red-lored Amazon. Instead, it has a prominent yellow patch on the nape of the neck. Its overall green plumage is similar, but the head markings are distinct.
Yellow-headed Amazon
Amazona oratrix
Key differences
Distinguished by its entirely yellow head (forehead, crown, and nape), which is much more extensive than the yellow cheeks and blue crown of the Red-lored Amazon. Also lacks the red lores.
White-fronted Amazon
Amazona albifrons
Key differences
Smaller in size. Has a white forehead, blue crown, and red around the eyes. The red lores are present, but the white forehead and blue crown are key differentiators from the Red-lored Amazon's red forehead and blue-violet crown.
