Anodorhynchus purpurascens, is an hypothetical extinct species of parrot. Its native name was Oné Couli^{[citation needed]}. It was described by Rothschild and featured in his book, Extinct Birds published in 1907,^[1] but there is very little evidence to support it as separate species.^[2] Rothschild named the species because uniform bluish coloured macaws were said to have inhabited the island of Guadeloupe;^[1] however, they were probably Hyacinth Macaws imported from the mainland of South America.^[2]
