Just saw a really excellent candidate for a Pale-headed Rosella/ Pale-headed Rosella Hybrid out at Kitchener Park, Feilding. I genuinely thought I'd seen one there a couple of years ago but put it down to weird lighting and excitement ie human error - I still did some low-key inquiries back then. Below are the two checklists that document things! Because it was showing both sexual/courtship behavior and some red feathers, it's likely a hybrid (or leucistic?), though red feathers are typical in juveniles

I'm no longer living in the district, just shot through cos Bunnings had stock that the Palmy store didn't. Alas, no bins or camera. Good luck guys
Pale-headed Rosella; near Fielding
