A work mate had a Crimson Rosella in his backyward down at Torquay, 
Victoria with blotches of a deep yellow colouration on its mantles and 
scapulars. Also with patches on its breast and  vents.

It otherwise looks like a full adult Crimson Rosella.

Theres a few possiblities; hybrid with Eastern, slightly luecistic..but 
the yellow is almost reminiscent of a "Yellow Rosella", and my best guess 
is just an odd gene thrown up in the mix of this highly variable species.

I have a photo i can send to those interested in making a comment on the 
bird.
