Dimitris,
 
Thanks for that. Well if it is not the same bird, it is almost exactly the same. It looks the same to me, although we saw it at different angles. My impression was of rather more bare blue-grey skin around the eye than what your photo appears to show. But either could appear variable. I was looking down at it on the ground (apart from seeing it as it flew towards us) and your photo is looking up at it. That alone could account for that difference. Do you know its history to say it is not a hybrid? Though it had a lot more of the Galah look about it than a Corella.
