I could be wrong since he/she is so young but perhaps a Red Lored Amazon?

A friend of mine told me that they thought it was a spectacle (white fronted) Amazon.

I was interested in a larger specie of Amazon, so that’s why I’m asking.

That was the other species I thought of as well when I saw the pic. Does the pet store not know?

Maybe a white-fronted Amazon?

White fronted/spectacled amazons are small amazons. I have seen one in person for adoption at TGF. I was surprised how small she was!

I also am leaning towards a Green Cheek, wondering it the red fills in more with age.

I strongly suspect (90% sure) it's a baby white fronted amazon. Baby green cheek amazons feather out with more red. We don't see a lot of white fronts where I'm from though. I think baby white fronts have a lot of variation in the amount of white and some of them even have a yellow or beige tint to the white initially. Then molt to a true white later.

My guess is spectacled/white fronted. I grew up with a Red Lored, and I'm pretty sure this isn't that.
