 Yes, it is.  When scientists first discovered the walla, they decided 
for some unknown reason to categorize them by letters.  The Walla-B is a 
very cute species of walla found in Australia.  However, I believe 
Ltdarkstar is referring to the walla-Q, which is rather smaller and more 
rabbit like, and has a tendency to hide in black stove-pipe hats.  Back 
in the days when people wore such hats, most people couldn't distinguish 
between the various wallas, so when they found a walla-Q in a hat, they 
would just shout "Walla!" and get rid of the little bugger as fast as 
possible.
