From two of my bird reference books:
Long-Billed Corella....sexes similar in appearance.
As for a "28 Parrot" as you have quoted, never heard of it...
The 28 Parrot is one of the Australian Ringnecks - a race of the Port Lincoln Ringneck which has the red band above the bill although the PLR is often referrred to as the 28 parrot too! The sexes are very similar with the males being brighter coloured.
As Raven said the different seses of the Long Billed Corellas are very similar in appearance - I don't have any data giving differences between them.

thanks yeah its very hard to tell them apart, i have a feeling the female's may be slightly aggressive when eating! but not hundred percent sure.
