My guess is first that it's a roo, not a "she", and second, I guess cinnie red breasted. Mine looked basically just like that.

I think the first pic is of the same male, but the rest are definately the same male.

ETA: i agree with bettacreek

bettacreek, how do you tell if a cinnamon roo is a redbreasted or just a normal cinnamon roo? I am now wondering if mines a readbrested or a noromal cin...herm

 

[Bettacreek]

How old? Got pics? I believe the cinnies have red backs and vents, the RB's have red chests. No expert here or anything, but this is what I believe to be true from looking at tons of pics trying to memorize the colors and such.

Oh, yours looks almost exactly like mine. I have other cinnamons but none that ever looked like this one. It was the splotchy coloring that baffled me. Is that last picture the same one, and what he ended up looking like as an adult?

Here's a cinnie roo as a youngster...

 

[Bettacreek]

Oops, sorry Niki. I'd say that it's a red breast definately.

Yes, that last pic is the same roo. Unfortunately, he never fully colored up before going on a hunger strike and passing away. He SHOULD have become completely blue except for the red on his chest, bottom and back.
