A sun has yellow wings, and a jenday has green wings. However both of the species look identical as babies, as suns mature the green goes away in the 1st year as it molts out.
Jendays also have more yellow heads when young, but with age after sexual maturity they gradually become more orange/redish in the face and breast.

A sunday conure is a hybrid between a sun and jenday.

the first pic is a jenday and the second is a Sun.

Baby hybrids are a little difficult, a sun has yellow parts even as a baby. All my birds are sun. A baby Jenday will have completely green wings.
