Joanna is new today; I wondered about her red belly. She was hatched 10/2014

Red belly is quiet common... if you hold this bird back for future breeding and pair it with another red bellied you may offspring with more red up the front (red fronted). I have bed belly show up in my flock (young).

picture below is from a Cinnamon (possibly Aqua cinnamon) Scarlet still light may darken a bit.
