Psittacara, I don't know exact species and which are most prevalent in captivity.

My first thought was Psittacara holochlorus.

According to ZTL the only conures held here are Pyrrhura molinae and Aratinga solstitialis but it doesn't really look like either of those. ZTL is often wrong though

@Mr Gharial There are no species in Pyrrhura or Aratinga that look like this, and it definitely is not a green-cheeked or sun conure. It definitely looks like a Psittacara species, and my best guess is Psittacara holochlorus, but I'm not totally sure. ZTL might not have recently updated their records for the particular facility.

All I can say that it is Definitely Psitticara, I have no knowledge on how to identify this genus.

It may be a young bird, as the red markings on these species take time to develope. Even so, they are confusing even when fully adult.

Thank you for your feedback. It's indeed a Psittacara, there were Psittacara mitratus and Psittacara erythrogenys in the same aviary, but this one doesn't resemble any of the 2 species mentioned.
I was thinking of a Psittacara strenuus.

Psittacara strenuus looks like it might be right, however a juvenile Psittacara erythrogenys has a large similarity. And It was one of the 2 species actually listed, so there could be a greater chance it was P. erythrogenys.
This is still purely hypothetical on my part.

EDIT: Scratch that, I think P. Strenuus is right.
