an extremely rare species endemic to the tiny island of Ouvea in the Loyalty Islands just east of New Caledonia. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the mainland horned parakeet ([i]Eunymphicus cornutus[/i]) and I'm personally not sure whether it really deserves full specific status, as it seems to be largely based on its more subdued colouration and insular distribution. You can see the colour differences from this photo
