What kind of peacock?

Can anyone tell me what kind of peacock I have? I want to get him a girlfriend and I don't know which kind of female to look for. He was labled as a red shoulder peacock in the store, but I looked up redshoulders, and they don't look like him. They are mostly blue with a little red on the shoulder. Mine is red, blue, and yellow. Here is a pic. He is young and has not completely colored up yet.

lol! I don't know what I was thinking putting birds in my tank. Do you think the feathers will mess up the filtration and the water quality

Not so far fetched as you might think! I HAD a parakeet that would dip and preen himself setting on the back of the tank, then one day I looked up and he was SWIMMING under the hood from one end to the other! I thought he had just fallen in, until it became a regular ritual. The feathers would float, but never clogged a filter.......

What size is it? There are so many species which have yellow on them that it could be any one of them.
Here's a peacock species list

That is so funny! I didn't know that parakeets liked water. I guess yours was just a special case. My kitten will jump in the tank if he gets a chance and the fish REALLY don't appreciate it when that happens.

He is about 4 inches right now, but he is young and I have a feeling that he will get bigger. I already looked at the profiles on that website (I go there to look up anything about cichlids) and there were too many that looked like him that I got confused. The reason that I want to know is because I don't want to end up with hybrid fish.
