I think my sun conure isn't 4-5 months old

I think my sun conure might be a year old as the color is quite pretty, I think the pet seller might be lying as it would've look a bit more green. Perhaps its about a year old.

Sun Conures definitely change coloration in the first year.
Here my guy at a few months old

And here he is at the one year mark

He had two molts between these pictures. The going into winter one and going into summer one.
Maybe with these pics you can kinda guage your birds age. Does he/she still have some green in the head and wings such as the first pic? If so I would estimate it's age around six months or less. And if all the green is basically gone then closer to the year old mark.
