A postage stamp of a female and male
Blue-rumped Parrot.
The male has primarily greenish upperparts and yellowish-green underparts, with
a greyish-blue head and rump, a blackish mantle, a reddish shoulder patch,
yellowish fringes on the wing coverts, and a red bill with a blackish lower
mandible. The body and wings of the female is similar, but the head and bill are
brownish, the rump is yellowish-green, the red wing-patch is smaller, and it
lacks the black mantle. This stamp is part of a set of four (fig.).
