Hybrid rosella?

This morning, I observed what was at first sight a Crimson Rosella: blue cheek patch, essentially blue and red coloration and of a larger dimension cf Eastern.

But the bird had blotchy uneven pale yellow patches on its breast. 

Possibilities:

  • Juvenile/immature Crimson R – looked quite unlike other juveniles around here
  • Genetic colour defect like leucism
  • Hybrid with predominantly Crimson genetic material.

 

Any ideas?
