?Large fig parrot (Psittaculirostris desmarestii) - juvenile?

Was in the same aviary as the adult Large fig parrot and there was no other sign, so I assume it is a juvenile specimen.

@HOMIN96 the two birds in your photos are different subspecies, which is why they look different. The one in this photo is P. d. desmarestii, while the one in the other photo is P. d. occidentalis. Both subspecies are monomorphic (i.e. the male and female look the same). Only the subspecies P. d. godmani is sexually-dimorphic, and neither of the birds in your photos are that subspecies.
