Suspected leucistic Red-rumped Parrot. Was with a medium flock of wild birds and feeding together with them. Definitely a wild flock, however I am advised by several locals that is likely to be an aviary escapee. Even so it has joined a wild flock and so is an interesting 'human impact' story at the very least.

I guess it's the same bird as the one in Harrisi's record: Psephotus haematonotus (Red-rumped Parrot)
