Newly Described Aus Ringneck – B. z. parkeri

Laurie,

It was described in Emu 116(4) last year. All Birdlife Australia members now get free access to Emu online – which I think BLA deserves big credit for – the paper can be found at www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1071/MU16005

Short answer to your question is that they are found in the far NE of South Australia and just across into Queensland, and the paper quotes an earlier author who described these birds by saying “these birds appeared to be lighter, more yellowish than birds from the Murray Mallee districts, which appear sea green; they had pale heads with a red frontal band similar to the southern birds”.
