The Red Collared Lory (Trichoglossus rubritorquis) is a species of parrot found in wooded habitats in Northern Australia (north-eastern Western Australia, northern Northern Territory and far north-western Queensland). These birds were previously considered a subspecies of the Rainbow Lorikeet, but today most major authorities consider them as separate species. No other member of the rainbow lorikeet group has an orange-red collar over the nape.
