That's definitely a fertile egg lol. It's hard to judge the stage of development though. There's a series of candling pictures of orange-winged amazon eggs here:
http://beautyofbirds.com/eggtoparrot.html The pictures look pretty similar to your egg, and for the first few days the pictures all look sort of alike.
I saw that site and that's why I guessed at the 8-9 weeks. Being so new to this though, I didn't know if you could look for something I don't know to look for. Lol. I will keep you posted!
Btw, my female is spending lots of her time off the nest this evening all of sudden. She and the male are once again cuddling and kissing and picking at each other. I hope she doesn't lay many more eggs:( And, the fertile egg needs to stay warm and I'm afraid it won't with her off the nest so much. I will keep an eye on her. If she stays off it too much, I may need to pull the egg. But then, she will likely lay more... Decisions, decisions. Lol
