Probably the poster bird for the rainbow lorikeet. They seem to be the most common lorikeet in most US zoos if they happen to have lorikeet exhibits.
After spending a while visiting the lorikeet landing I started to notice individuals like this one.

They do have some dark skin, it may be a bit lighter in the chest area. I've seen some over preened birds that have missing breast feathers.
