what is the oxidation number of Fe in the brown ring complex {FeSO4.NO}?

I thought NO exhibits +1 oxidation state in all other complexes except in brown ring complex in which it's oxidation state is 0.and thus Fe oxidation state is +2.Am I right?

It's a complex. so u can individually make FeSO4 neutral. Therefore, Fe has Oxidation state +2. I think u thought right.
