Definitely a Cockatoo but...

which one?

I've narrowed it down to one of three...

1. Yellow-tailed Black-cockatoo.

2. Glossy Black-cockatoo.

3. Red-tailed Black-cockatoo.

 Taken in Samford SE Queensland.

The tail looks pale so I'm guessing its a Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo although its hard to tell and what's that thing at its neck, is that the glossy's neck patch?

It looks like a Yellow-tailed Black, Reflex. After turning the brightness up the tail looks yellow.

SteveM I think the neck patch is just sunlight.

Thanks everyone. I could just about make out the yellow on the tail but it was hard to see. Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoo it is.
