Maybe....the scarlet has yellow and this one doesn´t...However the red and green one has less red than this one....Nevertheless, we know it is a macaw for sure =)

This is actually a Red and Green Macaw, can you see the green feathers between the red and blue? Scarlets Macaw have yellow feathers rather than green. Take a look at this spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8224202 :)
