Short description

 

 

 

   

   Rusty parrotfish (Scarus ferrugineus) female differs from the male in its more modest coloring: her body is usually brownish-red, often with longitudinal light stripes, while the head may be lighter. Characteristic features include small tail feathers, a white spot in the corner of the mouth; the back of the dorsal and caudal fins is yellow.
