I think the red fronted/waglers/scarlet fronts are all the same bird. Cliffy in your signature is a mitred as well. Unless he was a baby in the siggy pic.

Ya he was a baby in that picture. He had a whole head of red before he passed.
Hey what about me!I don't think anyone else has a RFC here, but this forum is new and we only have a few hundred members so far. Your bird is absolutely stunning!
There are three sub species of the red fronted conures; Carriker's conure, Peter's conure and Scarlet fronted conure. Jacob is a Scarlet fronted conure

He was a cherry then. Jacob can't be forgotten, he is adorable.

Believe it or not, I was actually thinking about Jacob at the time. I didn't know if you were in the forum then.
I think Jacob was the one who told me that Georgie was a Scarlet. =D
Georgie could be a Scarlet or a Carriker's, the only difference is size. How big is Georgie?
He's way smaller than a Mitred, bigger than the dusky, smaller than a blue-crown. He's a medium sized bird. Should I measure him feet to head? I could take a pic of him next to a ruler! Ya!
Ya think so? There's not much information on him before he was adopted. It's ok with me. It's fun to research and learn about the red heads. I'll now look up the Carriker's!

I am sensing that the waglers/red fronted conure is rare as i have not seen many around. They are gorgeous, i just love their eyes so beautiful! 
There still isnt much info about them, anyone know of some new updated sites i might be able to do some researc on?

Waglers (and Finsch's - the "smaller" version of a Wagler's) are often mistaken for Mitreds or Cherry Heads, and may be hybridized with those species because people couldn't tell... heck, Nelson & Gang, who posted on page 1, post #8 said "gorgeous cherry head" and babycakes, page 2 post #12, said their "red headed conure" (cherry head) looks just like Ruby! Further on page two you can see the confusion between the species.I am sensing that the waglers/red fronted conure is rare as i have not seen many around.

Within the past year I've seen two Waglers for rehoming... the first person was told that his waglers was a mitred, but he agreed with me on the species ID. Here's the second one...
Hoobly: Red fronted conure- sexed male,-hatching certificate - about one year old
And a breeder of them... although the info on website is rather lacking....
