Is this a corella cockatoo hybrid?

No, Geoffrey. The bird was coloured exactly as it appears in the photo, which is why I found it so interesting...

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

Good morning

 

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........

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you
