So just had a match come up for my parent as:
1st–2nd Cousin
Shared DNA: 854 cM across 28 segments (on ancestry)

Now I’ve looked at the dna painter thing, and I’m not sure if I’m reading it correctly, could this also be a half-niece/nephew?

Sorry if I have misunderstood.
If your father is coming up as potential half niece/nephew, he hasn't got an unknown half brother, has he?

Half brother would be a lot higher than 854 cMs
