Fw: Unusual parrot

[Bruce & Ann <>]

I suggest the bird is a female Red-rumped Parrot.

 

Cheers,

 Hi all,

 

Could I please get some help with an ID on this parrot that was observed at Fadden Pines this evening? It was observed with a red-rumped parrot and is a similar size. The call is very different, as were the flight pattern and colours (see Flickr links). I did not see a leg band.

Any help is appreciated.
