Yes that looks very similar to the Eastern/Crimson hybrid I photographed near the Yarralumla nurseries last year (also in the company of a normal Crimson Rosella), though your bird has a sharper demarcation between the Crimson and Eastern markings. See http://bioacoustics.cse.unsw.edu.au/archives/html/canberrabirds/2010-07/msg00044.html.

The enclosed Pic was taken in our garden at Jerrabomberra. I believe the “Eastern” to be a hybrid. My reasons are that the bird was part of a group of Crimsons that hung around here for some time. It also appeared larger than an Eastern and its cheek patches were distinctly bluish. Have I got this right? Happy for any views.
