There is no way to tell age of a sun conure after it becomes an adult.

a good estimate though based on your pic is 1-30 years old.

It still has a little green in places an adult would usually not have but less than a baby so I'm guessing the sun conure is 4 to 10 months old.

Looks like this one has very pretty feet - still has that "new bird" look to them. Without knowing it's genetic history or what it's fed, I'd guess its younger than 5 years.

Rio (Yellow sided conure) sadly no longer with us
I'll take a hazard that they're under 1 year old just due to the green. After the first molt most of that should go. After that he'll look exactly the same for the rest of his life

I'll take a blind stab that they're about 6 - 9 months

Sun conure named Lemon (nickname Moonie) hatched August 28, 2014, BFA Professor Green hatched August 22, 2014, Macaw Flash hatched Sept 15, 2007
He does look quite young due to the amount of green in his wings. Lemon had that much green around 2 years old, I think. Just an estimate though. I'd say between 1-2 years old. My monkey is 3 years and 4 months now and has much less green in his wings.
