The black-legged parrot (Pionites xanthomerius) is one of the four species in the genus Pionites of the family Psittacidae. Originally the species was considered to be a subspecies of Pionites leucogaster, but recent morphological work suggests the species should be split into three. The species is also known as the yellow-thighed parrot.
