Sula hanging parrot
The Sula hanging parrot (''Loriculus sclateri'') is a small species of parrot in the Psittaculidae family. It is endemic to forest and nearby habitats on the Banggai and Sula Islands in Indonesia.
== Description and taxonomy ==
The Sula hanging parrot has sometimes been treated as a subspecies of the Moluccan hanging parrot, but the two are increasingly treated as separate species based on their distinct differences in plumage and size (14 cm for the Sula hanging parrot versus for the Moluccan hanging parrot).〔Collar, N. J. (2007). ''Taxonomic notes on some insular Loriculus hanging-parrots.'' Bull. B.O.C. 127(2): 97-107.〕 When recognized as separate species, the Sula hanging parrot has often been treated as monotypic, but the subspecies ''L. s. ruber'' from the Banggai Islands has recently been re-validated, leaving the nominate for the Sula Islands.〔 Both subspecies have an overall green plumage with red to the chin, rump and leading edge of the wing. In ''L. s. sclateri'' the mantle varies from all mustard-orange to red broadly edged by orange, while the mantle of ''L. s. ruber'' is red with very little orange edge. Furthermore, the red rump is brighter in ''L. s. ruber'' than in ''L. s. sclateri''.〔
