This photo shows yellow, rather than the pink of a Corella. First generation hybrids are normally fairly predictable combinations. This may be a second / third
/ whatever generation hybrid, so it could (I suggest) have parentage out of the three likely species.

Certainly hybridish Charmian. Looks like our usual Long-billed x Little Corella with the red/yellow colour settings adrift in either the camera or the computer

Subject: [Canberrabirds] Is this a corella cockatoo hybrid?
I am wondering if this is a hybrid corella cockatoo? It was in our yard in Holder this morning with a group of cockatoos. It is almost the same size as a cockatoo but has the
blue ring around the eye, and a tiny crest of sorts, and yellow patches........
