Ara ambiguus or militaris? Macaw ID (Milwaukee County Zoo, Summer 2017)

I was going through old photos and I found this of a macaw in the bird show. No idea if it is a Military or a Great Green.
I would say Great green going by the colour of the green feathers, but it is somewhat qualitative and I'm not really sure. Military macaws are supposed to have subtly darker feathers so that's what I'm going by.
 
Actually, having gone through species lists etc. I found only the Military macaw has ever been on display at MCZ so it seems it is militaris. I never was good at IDing :D
