New to Parrots, could do with help identifying my species of bird.

[anthonypearson]

Hi, I recently took on a parrot as a friend of the family was looking to find it a new home after a divorce. They were unsure of the breed strangle enough, apart from they said it was an Amazon bird. I am new to parrots but have owned other birds. I am however unsure what the species of my parrot is. If anyone knows that would be great help .

I've left a photo of Buddy below;

His back is a grayish tone.

Thanks

Anthony
