Looks to have too much red for a Little, but not enough for Long-billed

They appear to all look the same but I do not have five of them looking towards the camera at the same time.

Close left definitely contains Long-billed Corella blood, front right Little Corella blood. I think the centre-back might be a mix? Anyway this does appear to give more weight to my hybrid suggestion :)
