It does look more like an eastern rosella however it doesn't look like a typical specimen (young or old). It also has blue tinges in the white parts of the cheek which a normal eastern rosella doesn't have (Eastern rosellas have white cheeks and crimson rosellas have blue cheeks). Each time I have seen this bird it has been with a small flock of crimson rosellas. I know it isn't the best photo but can anyone confirm if my theory is correct?
