Yeppers...juvie erectus. Also could use a little weight on it.

I respectfully disagree. Look at how filled in it is between the plates, especially around the around the arch of the neck. That's a fat, healthy little bugger. It's probably been a little while (hours, not longer) since it's been fed so its stomach is thin, but the overall condition of that animal is great. It's too young to be producing eggs yet so perhaps you're not seeing the bulging ovaries of a well fed girl, but if it had more weight on it, it would be obese.
