Looks normal to me. IRNs are alternatively named the "rose-ringed parakeet", and the ring is generally orangey/pink and black in adult males, and the ring will intensify as your bird moults into adult plumage. Adult females can sometimes show a very subtle "shadow" of a ring too, though it's less common to do so. Your baby is beautiful by the way, what's his (or her) name?
