Any side-on photos? Little Corella can show a bit of red on the front too

Ryu, I've added one more photo. This was the best I have side on. The whole flock was startled by a large passing vehicle so I only got a couple of photos.

Not enough evidence to opt for hybrid in my view but you can make the call Luke.

I was just unsure because seems to have a bit more red on the face than usual Little Corellas.

Confirmed as it seems intermediate between Little and Long-billed Corella. It may be a second generation hybrid.
