Crimson x Eastern Rosella (?)

Possible Crimson x Eastern Rosella (?), near Bulla, Melbourne, Australia. Not sure if this bird is a hybrid? It has most of the features of an Eastern Rosella, but it has prominent green feathers on the head and around the eye, as female and immature Crimson Rosella's have. The bright white feathers below the beak confirm that it is at least partly an Eastern Rosella.
