What bird is this ?

Observed clinging to a bird feeder , at the extreme of my old digital camera, i thought at first was a Crimson Rosella by the blue cheek but the red is more lighter Eastern Rosella sort of red ( where here there are quite a few in the woodland ) and the yellow band lower front .. maybe a Lorikeet  of some description ? 

can anyone identify ?

Looks like an Eastern Rosella.

Birds have known to cross breed and can produce some unusual array of plummage.

A clearer pic would've been nice, but birdies don't like to say cheese.

 

I'm doing OK thanks Kopes.   Hoping you're also well these days.

Speaking of cheese, I was watching a show on SBS.  A Scandinavian show, and they put cheese in their coffee!

Ewwww

 

It's a real thing...google it.

Is it possibly an Adelaide Rosella?

Does seem to be an Adelaide Rosella - although more solidly coloured - seems the Adelaide Rosella as depicted above is quite mottled , so maybe a nothern Victorian variant ?
