Recently I purchased a couple of Australian Yellows. I am relatively inexperienced with the Australian Yellows but this cock is colored very similar to my RHWBYB.
Any thoughts on whether this one is Aussie or Euro?

He's very clean on the back for an Aus Yellow. Put him with a normal hen as the quickest way to find out, all hens produced will be yellow if he's Euro.

I reckon he's a Euro but for your sake I hope I'm wrong...

Im not to savvy with the yellow gouldians, only kept them for a short while but that last pic looks like a rh/wb/sfy cock. as natamambo said i think its euro as well.

Back wing colour suggests Euro (Only way I can tell)

Had another look at other photos of Aus Yellows. I reckon that yours has too much blue around the head line, I'm with misso, it's a single factor Euro yellow cock. If it was double factor the blue line becomes white and the yellow on the back in a WB is almost as clean as a canary.

To me from the back and front he's a euro yellow.

Thanks everyone for your input. I`m of the same belief. I have a couple of RH WB SF YB and
they have exactly the same colouring around the head and neck as this cock.
I will mate him over a normal GB initially as a test mating and are fully expecting SF Euros.

Cheers
