Today at Hughes Oval, near the pavilion, I saw a pair of Superb Parrots feeding on the ground. As I ran past I saw a male and a female (bluish head), and they both flew away but I was surprised to see that the female had yellow patches in its
wings. These didn’t seem to be wing coverts, like the yellow patches in Regent Parrot plumage, but it seem to be towards the back of the wing, so the secondaries I guess, because they were only exposed in flight.
I can’t find any mention of these markings in any of the field guides. Has anybody seen anything like this before?
