Pyrrhura chimera

[Nathanste]

Got a load of young greencheeks and noticed this one was different. It looks like a bizarre mix between the yellow sided and the pineapple high red mutations. Thoughts?

Likely right! The green cheek does appear to be yellowsided split cinnamon!

Very neat looking chick!

It’s split pineapple high red the front is really red. Will post some more pictures in a few minutes

Some more pictures. It actually may be a yellow sided high red split with cinnamon. I think Monica is right

My goodness that is one stunningly unique little one.

Chimeras are fascinating.

Do you know anything about the bird's parents or siblings? That would help narrow down the possibilities.

@Nathanste you can't have a visual yellowsided split pineapple. You're saying the bird is yellowsided split cinnamon yellowsided.

Therefore, the correct term for this chimera/halfsider would be a yellowsided split cinnamon, or rather, a high red yellowsided split cinnamon!


Love the photos!!!!!

That’s what I meant. English is not my first language.
Thanks for the reply.

I see the difference on the underside of the wings & on the face, but not the stomach. Am I missing something?

Probably harder to see any differences in the stomach since the bird is a "visual yellowsided" while being "split" cinnamon.
