The Rufous-fronted Parakeet, (Bolborhynchus ferrugineifrons) is endemic to Colombia and can be a real challenge to see as they like very high altitudes between 3000-4000 metres. Wikipedia doesn’t have a photo but I do have a picture from Rio Blanco. Photos are available on the websites in the “Learn More” section.
Not only are they a Colombian endemic but their range is very small in the high paramo near Manizales & Pereira. The best place to see them is in and around the Termales del Ruiz. You will be at 3500 metres so plan for altitude sickness. Once you get within 5km of the hotel, keep your windows down and ears open, they are the only parrot species in this area so listen for the squawking.
