Are these Orange-bellied Parrots? (WTP)

["Peter Shute" <>]

A friend took some photos of what he thought were OBPs at Werribee, but is now 
having doubts.  The variation in the field guides for this species is quite 
confusing. Would anyone like to look through them and give your thoughts?  I'd 
be interested in how your come to your conclusions, irrespective of what they 
turn out to be.

The fact that some appear to be banded makes me fairly sure they are, unless 
someone is banding Blue-winged Parrots.  The photos are at:

They were taken on 6/7/08, but I'm not sure exactly where within WTP.  Perhaps 
someone will recognise the location.
