I have seen several of these hybrids of the Eastern/Crimson Rosella. They 
mostly resemble an Eastern Rosella with the obvious difference of having blue 
cheeks. Also to my mind, the red on the head and chest tends to be darker than 
typical for an Eastern Rosella and may extend further and untidily down the 
breast, rather than the usual sharp cut off from the yellow.
