We report an aberrant, blue-colored, Orange-chinned Parakeet from a population inhabiting an urban area in Colombia. This is the first documented record of a wild-blue mutant for this species through its natural distributional range. Our observations suggest that this mutation occurs at a very low frequency in this population and does not appear to display any selective advantage that could drive a frequency change.

Reportamos un individuo de coloración aberrante azul del periquito bronceado en una población urbana en Colombia. Este es el primer registro documentado de un mutante azul en esta especie a lo largo de su distribución natural. Nuestras observaciones sugieren que esta mutación ocurre con una frecuencia muy baja en esta población y no parece mostrar ninguna ventaja selectiva que pueda impulsar cambios posteriores.
