American Dilute Conure

Pyrrhura Molinae

The American Dilute is apparently a diluted color phase of a Green-Cheeked Conure. It has dark eyes, a dark beak, dark feet, yellow breast, dark orange-red abdomen, silver-grey crown, and a lime-colored back. This is a recessively inherited trait. These birds are NOT hybrids! These are mutation colors, just like the different colors in poodles.
