Can anybody help me identify my eclectus?

[mrob]

Hi everyone,
I have had my beautiful boy for about six months, and he is fantastic. Thing is, im not sure which subspecies he is. Breeder told me he was SI but I dont trust the guy - the poor chick was force weaned, sick and stuffed out the back in a tiny cardboard box in its own filth in a dark shed with a whole lot of other miserable looking birds. I had to take him the poor thing and I havent regretted it for a second.
He is happy and healthy and halarious now, but I am curious as to what he actually is! Anyhelp would be appreciated - i hear you can identify them by their tails so I have attached some pictures.
Thanks in advance

Maybe this link will help. By the looks of your pic he is either a RS or SI. They are the cheaper of the sub-species & more readly available.

Looks like an SI to me from the pics

What's his length? From head to tail! He looks like a SI to me as well.

I was in the same dilemma as you, I did lots of research and looked at lots of pic to determine what my guy is. Yours looks like a Solomon Island to me.

The length would determine what he is if he would put down the measurement.
