The Crimson-bellied Conure or Crimson-bellied Parakeet (Pyrrhura perlata) – more commonly known as the Crimson-bellied ) – is also often referred to as “Pearly Conure” resulting in confusion with the Pyrrhura lepida lepida – the true Pearly Conure. The reason for this confusion is that the scientific name ” Pyrrhura perlata” is now applied to Crimson-bellied Parakeet.

In 1824, Spix misidentified skins of immature birds belonging to the former species “Pyrrhura rhodogaster” necessitating reclassification. Recent field studies have confirmed a conspecific relationship (of, or belonging to, the same species) between Pyrrhura rhodogaster and Pyrrhura perlata, thus they are classified here together as one species.

The Crimson-bellied Conure forms a parapatric species pair with the Pearly Conure (Pyrrhura lepida), with which the Crimson-bellied Conure is sometimes considered conspecific (of, or belonging to, the same species)..

The plumage is mainly green with a narrow reddish-brown frontal band. The most distinguishing features of this conure are the bright crimson-red colored lower breast and abdomen – and that color can also be seen on the bend of wing and under wing-coverts. The forehead, crown and back of the head are dull brown, each feather edged with whitish-brow. The forehead has a pale-blue tinge. The feathers on side of neck, throat and upper breast are brown each feather being broadly edged with whitish to dull yellow.

Adults have a blue collar on the hindneck in varying thicknesses. The brown cheeks are washed with a dull blue. The lores (the regions between the eyes and bill on the side of a bird’s head) and cheeks yellowish-green becoming pale blue on lower cheeks. The ear coverts (feathers covering the ears) are off-white / cream-colored. The brown breast is barred off-white and dark brown. They have a brownish-red tail with a green base. The bill is dark grey and the feet grey. The eye rings are bare and off-white, and the eyes dark brown.

Immature birds look like adults, but they have a duller plumage, green abdomen and dark irises. They have variably mixed blue and a few red-edged feathers – some young fledge with adult plumage.
