Without a more accurate description is hard to say what species you might=

have but if you are certain that it belongs to the cacatuoides group then=

you are left with either A. cacatuoides, A. juruensis, or A. sp. aff.
juruensis "Pucallpa". The last two can be differentiated from the A.
cacatuoides by looking for the presence of a black W or a Fu Man Chu in t=
he
chin of both males and females.

How about the background color? Any other distinct features that you can
add?

I imagine your name is not GOlenhouse so how about writing your real name=

at the end of your message.
