Sumba Eclectus
Eclectus cornelia
The Sumba eclectus, or Cornelia's eclectus (Eclectus cornelia) is a parrot species which is native to Sumba. Also larger than the Moluccan eclectus, the male is a paler shade of green overall and has a bluer tail. The female has an all red plumage, except for the primaries which are a dark royal blue, and can be differentiated from the Tanimbar eclectus by the lack of yellow to her tail.
