The same bird can have different markings and slightly different call veriaties even in the same state,but they are not classed as different species.
Point in mind, I have lots of Rainbow Lorikeet's come to my place, they are what I call regular size around 25cm or so.
A friend at Caloundra has the same bird but it is much bigger around 35cm and very bulky.
I was amazed at the size difference of the birds, unfortunately no camera.
Other points come to mind,such as juvenile,availabilety of food etc.
Cheers
PS the true title of the above bird is "little Wattle Bird" as there are quite a few species of Wattle Bird.
