How to tell if its a green cheek or black cap

[ricksan]

Hello.
The title basically says it all.
But I got 2 concurs a sun conure and what everyone is saying/told was a Green cheek concur. I recently learned about black cap concurs and how they look almost exactly like green cheeks. I was wondering if there's any easy way to tell whether my little friend is a Green cheek or black cap.

Do you have a picture you could share?

Yes I do this is the best pic he would let me take.
Also I have looked online but I've seen the same picture being used for both

You have a green cheek

The easiest way to tell is by looking at the feathers by the crop. Black caps have a scalloped look, with white edges around those feathers. A green cheek lacks that feature. Green cheeks also usually have a lighter patch of feathers behind the eye (near the ear) which Black caps do not. Here's a side by side (not my photo):
