Ara chloropterus
Colorful plumage of red feathers with a band of green ones below it. Below the green ones are blue feathers. Another characteristic that distinguishes this one from other macaws is the red lines that is formed by tiny feathers around its eyes. It has a very strong beak.
Lowland tropical forests, gallery woodland, savanna, near rivers.
The wing's feathers of the scarlet macaw are mostly yellow and blue. In your's, are mostly green and blue, also the red marks surrounding the eyes are not in the scarlet macaw
That's why i think is a red-and-green macaw instead of the scarlet macaw
