Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo (yellow morph)

Calyptorhynchus funereus

Notes:

So I came across a flock of Cockatoos and this one definitely stood out! A rare colour morph has changed the look of this Cocky. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has seen anything similar.

We had Yellow tailed Black-Cockies this week, probably driven east by the fires. I have never seen that one. Very cool
