I bought three of these at a new LFS near me and was pretty confident that I had SAEs. Unfortunately, one died in QT and now I only have two.

Today I saw a thread in the photo gallery with an oto that looked very similar. What do you guys think?

Otos don't look anything like SAEs - Flying Foxes - those are the ones that look like SAEs...

At a glance, yours look like SAEs to me.

they look like SAE's to me also. lucky find!!

flying foxes, which are similar as Squawkbert said, have a gold/orange line on their sides near the black line. your SAE's dont seem to have that line.
