Who was the Queen of Bavaria?

[Enjru]

I'm interested if anyone has any information or even theories as to who this "Queen of Bavaria" was, who was so privileged to have such a STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL bird, Guaruba guarouba (also known as the Golden Conure), named after her.

According to World Parrot Trust - Forums and Experts, the QOB conure was a gift to the Queen of Bavaria, hence the name. As far as finding out who exactly the Queen was at the time, I'm not sure as I can't seem to find a time period when that name was first put to use, but I did find this, List of Bavarian consorts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since Guaruba guarouba was first described by J. F. Gmelin in 1788, I think we can assume that this Queen of Bavaria reigned AFTER that date.

I wonder if the queen was a responsible parrot owner.

So, that leaves only 4 candidates...or does it?!?

I have a theory, but I'd like to read what others have to say first...
