At least that's what they appear to be.
If anyone can confirm or correct the id we would appreciate receiving a comment.
We saw about 120 of these birds on a telepone wire in Harlingen Texas.
Load and raucous, they displayed for about 30 minutes at sunset and then they left and settled into nearby trees.

I had to set the white balance very high as the lighting was poor.

Yes, they are red-lored amazons (the more specific aviculture name for them, anyway). Nice find!
