Conure plucking or molting?

Conure has developed white fluff on his belly not sure if its him plucking or part of a molt. He gets kale/cilantro blueberries carrots in the morning occasionally strawberries and other fruits/veg, then harrisons pellets during the day. He recently turned 1. Pictures below
