It looks like a Jenday to me, the head is very yellow. Could be a young sun, but I would expect to see more green on the body.

Jenday, head is far too yellow for a young sun. Looks just like my Xaffy! Bet it's a little boy!

Thanks for the comments! We are going to have to bird sexed at a avian vet. We just bought the Conure and have had it for 2 weeks. The bird is still scared of my wife and I, but we are still working hard at developing a relationship. We don't have a name yet either. We want to wait to see if its a male or female. Thanks everyone for your quick replies.

Looks exactly like my little girl. I would be pretty confident in calling it a Jenday.
