Where's the crimson?
Such a complex species this one. This Crimson Rosella is actually a yellow version of the form known as the Adelaide Rosella, which had been split but then re-lumped. Then there's another one called Yellow Rosella! Don't know what happened yesterday, thought I'd posted this but must have...- delia todd

Complex
Adelaide Rosella was at one time a separate species, but was lumped back with the Crimson Rosella. This subspecies has a yellow wash where the Crimson is red.

Making life difficult
Really not the greatest of pictures, but the best I got of this Lifer that day, and didn't really improve on that at any time during my time in South Australia.

Adelaide
I get a bit lost with these Rosellas. Think I've got this right though. This is a Crimson Rosella, which at some point may be split off (and I think may already have been by some) as an Adelaide Rosella. It's yellow, where the Crimson is red, but not another potential split (Yellow Rosella)...- delia todd

Adelaide Rosella
The Adelaide Rosella is the result of interbreeding between the Crimson and Yellow Rosellas. Their ranges overlap around Adelaide. Here we have a range of colours from reddish to yellowish.- peterday
