The '''Red-browed Amazon''' (''Amazona rhodocorytha'') is a species of [[parrot]] in the family [[Psittacidae]]. It is [[Endemism|endemic]] to [[Atlantic Forest]] in eastern [[Brazil]]. It has been considered a [[subspecies]] of the [[Blue-cheeked Amazon]], but today all major authorities consider them separate species. It is threatened both by [[habitat loss]] and by being captured for the trade in wild parrots.
==Description

Black and red patches can be seen on the wings when they are spread and the tail feathers have red markings and are tipped with yellow. The beak and legs are grey and the [[Iris (anatomy)|iris]] of the eye is orange-brown.<ref name=ARKive>{{cite web |url=http://www.arkive.org/red-browed-amazon/amazona-rhodocorytha/ |title=Red-browed Amazon (''Amazona rhodocorytha'') |publisher=ARKive |accessdate=2013-09-20}}</ref>
