One key feature to differentiate between the two is the Masked Parakeet has a large red patch seen on the underside of the wing and when perched can be seen as a red at the bend of the wing they also sound more nasal than the Mitred or Blue-Crowns. In the adults the amount of red on the heads can differentiate but currently in Broward there are juvenile Red-Masks with very little (to none) red on the heads.
