Is he red sided or vos?

Glamour shots to come, but I'm hoping these are good in helping to tell if my Parker is a RS or a vos. Any thoughts?

I could tell from some of your other photos that he's a big boy! And he looks SO much like my Ekkie boy, who I discovered (by googling his band) is a Vos!

Thanks Laura! He had a vet appointment today, and we were able to key him out to be a red sided ekkie. He was more of a darker forest green when you brought them out into the sun, and he had distinctive green edging along his wing primaries that are a clear indication of this sub species.

Oh, very nice! Congrats on your handsome boy.
