you do have the violet agapornis personatus mutation in Spain, correct?
I am pretty sure we do.
There is a large breeding for mutation scene here with conventions that gather.
Where I live in the South, Lovebirds are the most popular pet parrot.

1 Named is Opie, a baby born 11/26. I've only owned him for 9 days. Lutino mutation tho he's got a stripe of red on each tail feather. He's a super sweet sweet boy. He's close to being weaned and all he wants is mommy. I absolutely adore him!

It is not a guess, they are a hybrid. And it does explain the grey on the cheeks. The mutation is wild type (often just called Green).
The only thing is that I can't tell which eyering species. Unless you have a photo of the parents? I could tell you.
Also, because your bird is a hybrid between a non-eyering species lovebird and an eyering lovebird, your bird will be infertile.
There are no certified records of any fertile RoseicollisxFischeri or RoseicollisxPersonatus hybrids at all.
So sorry for replying almost year later, I completely missed this comment but was thinking about what you had said, , as it relates to another bird I saw on Reddit today that looks just like Lola! I’d never seen another bird that looks like her ever so it was very cool! Her likely being infertile is “goo” news as I definitely don’t want to breed. I’m searching online but can’t figure out if she still might lay eggs? Egg binding is a big fear of mine.

Who? The hybrid?
All females will lay eggs. A non laying female bird is rare (but I don't doubt there are a small few out there).
Don't fear egg binding. Learn about it, do your best to reduce the risks. And monitor so you are there to step in and help when needed.
Having a good diet, not clipping the wings, and allowing daily flight time is key!
There are other complications with egg laying that are not just egg binding. So read up on them all, but don't let it put you off having hens :)
