Generally I've been fairly successful in identifying most birds, but this one has completely eluded me. It looks like a King Parrot, but was about a Rosella size, but the black beak doesn't seem to conform to any bird that I can identify. Would anyone have an idea?
I can't tell the size but the plumage is an exact match. I'd be happy to call that a King-parrot

I'm also inclined to identify it as a King Parrot, but it's colouration stood out quite differently to the others and it didn't mingle with the others so much either.
