Grey goshawk???

Travelling west on William Hovell Drive, I noticed above me a pair of ravens 
interacting with a white bird.  Is it a Sulphur Crested or a Corella? A bit 
strange, I thought - why are the ravens giving the cockatoo a hard time?? As we 
turned right onto Bindubi, I got a somewhat closer look, and noticed that the 
white bird had a noticeably longer tail than either of the previous suspects 
should have had. We drove on, leaving the commotion behind, but I was left 
wondering what, other than a white morph Grey Goshawk, would have that general 
appearance and be generating that response from the ravens??
Any thoughts?
