Seen on Thursday (9-Mar-2017) near Birnum, Otway Ranges early afternoon.

Single bird, am thinking either Blue Winged Parrot or Elegant Parrot...

ID assistance appreciated

Looks like Blue-winged, lots of blue on the wing coverts, can't see blue above the eye and orange tinge to the belly, but quite tricky to identify where they overlap
 
Thanks Bill, am still on L plates when it comes to IDing similar species like this so much appreciated
Regards
Kerry
