It is a hybrid. Most probably:
Yellow-crowned Amazon (Amazona ochrocephala) X Blue-fronted Amazon (Amazona aestiva)
In stead of the yellow-crowned it could also be a yellow-headed (Amazona oratrix) those are closely related.
It is probably also listed here: http://amazornia.us/gallery_BF_YH.html
Some kind of Amazon hybrid.
