I can recall seeing an orangey one near Deniliquin a couple of years ago, which was a hybrid between Eastern and Yellow (and on this morning's outing at the Majura Winery, Stuart pointed out a Crimson-Eastern hybrid, with pale blue cheek patch, Eastern-toned wings and much smaller than the Crimsons it was hanging out with)

Is it unusual to see an orange-coloured rosella, rather than the normal crimson?
In Bega last weekend there was a young rosella in a flock of mixed adults and young, whose neck feathers were distinctly orange. I'd be interested to know whether this is unusual, because if so, I will try to get a good photograph.
Cheers,
John Buckley
