Looks like a macmasteri-complex species, probably A. macmasteri. What were they sold as?
They sold as A. Macmasteri, but I had the doubt with cacatuoide wild. They come from Peru. And sex? They told me they were male and female.

They are definitely not A. cacatuoides, and not from Peru (unless bred there domestically). A. macmasteri and other species in the macmasteri-complex are native to Colombia and Venezuela (Río Orinoco system). They appear to be ~ 4 cm long. At this size sex differences are hard to see.
