Don't you wish the OP would give us some clearer photos, and let us know how big/little the baby was? That would SO help in trying to ID him/her. ;)

Yes. We can use some more info :). To be fair, I know that sometimes depending on the angle of the camera shot, heads, beaks, and body parts can look larger or smaller or a bit different than they are in real life.

A Plum Headed has a distinctive tell tale tail which we can't see here... It is long, and has only 2 central feathers, and is very narrow. These 2 central long feathers are blue with white tips for about an inch (or a couple centimeters). Mine had this tail even as a juvenile. He had around a cockatiel sized body. I wish we can see more!

Depending on the age... My friend breeds plumbers and her chicks are almost ready to go home but still have rather short tails. I will admit never studying them very closely, but I would really like to see more pictures, different angles, better lighting, and on a hand. Plum heads are indeed cockatiel sized, even a tad smaller than some I think, but with that stunning long tail. Don't worry, I won't be offended if Julie is correct lol, that's just the only bird I have ever seen that looks like that :)

Take a good pic of the tail :). Not that I don't believe you, but man.. that head and beak and even the eye just look so big for a PHP in the second pic! Probably just the pic ;).
But makes sense if you say it came out of the forest in Pakistan to this lady who gave him to you.
