Which country is the Lilac-crowned parrot (Amazona finschi) indigenous to?

The lilac-crowned parrot (Amazona finschi) is a parrot endemic to the Pacific slopes of Mexico. Also known as 'Finsch's amazon' or the 'lilac-crowned amazon', it is characterized by green plumage, a maroon forehead, and violet-blue crown and neck.

The binomial (having or usage of two names) of this bird commemorates the German naturalist and explorer Otto Finsch.

In 2006, Bird Life International classified this species as vulnerable.

In 2014, IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) raised the listing of threat level to this species to Endangered.

The plumage of an adult lilac-crowned parrot is primarily green with yellowish underparts and black edging. The forehead is a maroon colour with a light blue-lilac neck, nape, and crown. The cheeks and ear coverts are a greenish yellow that lacks the edging that is present in most of the plumage. The primary feathers are dark blue with the secondary feathers being green while being tipped with the same dark blue colouring.

The lilac-crowned parrot's endemic range spans along the pacific coast of Mexico, beginning in south-eastern Sonora and southwestern Chihuahua down to southern Oaxaca. In Sinaloa and northern Nayarit the geographic range of the lilac-crowned parrot is above 375 meters of elevation and does not reach sea level until southern Nayarit, where it remains so through Jalisco and Oaxaca.
