Pyrrhura griseipectus

Undocumented sightings from Murici are the only clues to the putative occurrence of this species in Alagoas ( Teixeira et al., 1988; J.F. Pacheco pers. comm. in Olmos et al., 2005). Individuals were illegally captured in Murici and sold at local bird markets, but no photographs or specimens from Alagoas survived to date.The species has documented records from some rainforest enclaves and inselbergs in the states of Ceará and Pernambuco ( Olmos et al., 2005; Girão et al., 2010) and was recently found in northern Bahia (e.g., WA 4175054, C. Brito), although the latter population seems to exhibit a slightly distinct color on the top of the head and may be of a different taxon. Regarding the putative records from the PCE (e.g., Marcgrave, 1648; Zenaide, 1953; Teixeira et al., 1988) as valid makes sense from a biogeographic perspective because several other birds, such as Odontophorus capueira plumbeicollis and Xiphorhynchus atlanticus , share the same distributional pattern.
