Seems to show traits of both corellas, possibly a hybrid?

Thanks Ryu, I thought the same. There were several Little Corellas present, but these two definitely had a lot more red.

Thanks Christine. I was only referring to the front bird. Not so sure about the back, that could still be within the normal variation for Little Corella I think.
