Anyone ever heard of this hybrid macaw?

Hi all,

I recently came across a hybrid macaw that is catalina and possibly shamrock. Have you ever heard of that cross before? Have any photos?

A Catalina is a cross with a Scarlet and a blue and gold, while a Shamrock is a cross of a Millie and a Scarlet. Searched, but didn't see the two crossed, maybe someone else has! I found a Harlequin X Shamrock, looks muddied in colors:

I also found a cross of a Scarlet and Shamrock, could be similar in looks to what you are asking about:

This is Kyla a Calico, cross of Millie and GW, was a foster here for a while:
