Another Red-head

Another Red-head (Platycercus eximius)

Despite the bright colours, I was walking to photo the Galah and did not see this Eastern Rosella sitting quietly in the grass. A little more cautions than the Galah, it did not stay for long, but I was able to get this shot. Originally thought it may have been an Adelaide Rosella, but the colours were not right.
