Got this juvies as a part of a pair that is supposed to be a cacatuoides, orange flash. I just started collecting and breeding apistos so I'm not too sure on the type and sex when they are juvies. I think it's a Agassizii. What do you guys think? Thanks!

It shows a lip spot which in wild forms of A. agassizii is a feature of males only. However, in line bred strains like "Double red" and "Fire red" this spot can also be shown by females. But together with the lots of metallic blue/green coloration on the head and body I think this is a male too.
