Amazona autumnalis
This parrot looked to be about 12" long, and a beautiful emerald green, with a red forehead, yellow cheek and white eye-rings. Its crown is powder blue. In the photo it looks like it has a black bar on its shoulder, but that's just a shadow of a twig.
This parrot was spotted in an unknown tree, eating the fruits, on the grounds of the Tikal ruins in Guatemala.
The second photo, with its elegantly posed parrot showing full underparts and eating typical fruits, reminds me of an Audubon print.
