The Blue-winged Parrotlet is the smallest parrot species in Brazil. It was recognized by its small size (ca 12 cm long), shape, color, which is mainly green and short, tapered tail. The species is sexually dimorphic, and our road-killed individual was an adult male since it had blue feathers on the bend of the wing, underwing-coverts, blue lower back, and rump. The females are completely green.
