Martinique amazon

The Martinique amazon (Amazona martinicana) is a hypothetical extinct species of Caribbean parrot in the family Psittacidae.

It is not known from any material remains, but was said to be similar to the red-necked amazon (A. arausiaca) from Dominica, the next major island to the north of Martinique.

[2] Jean-Baptiste Labat described them as follows in 1742: Those of Dominica have some red feathers on the wings, under the throat, and in the tail; all the rest is green (Amazona bouqueti, w.r.).

Those of Martinique have the same plumage as the last mentioned, but the top of the head is slate colour with a small amount of red.

[4] However, it is more widely held to be related or identical to the imperial amazon (A. imperialis), the second Amazona species of Dominica.
