White-winged or Yellow-chevroned?
As a birding professional has taught me, "The
primary way to separate the two is by looking at the
face. On a White-winged parakeet, the face is
sparsely
feathered and shows mostly grayish skin. On a Yellow-chevroned Parakeet, the
face is fully feathered. Additionally, the Yellow-chevroned Parakeets are more
"grassy-green" color compared to the
darker green of a White-winged."
