I went to Cebu last month and has spare time to check out Olango on the side, I came in bad timing with high tide and migratory has not yet arrived. I tried to stay for a while and shoot the residents near the office reception, I managed to photographed some White collared and these two. Please help me ID   |

The first one is a Golden-bellied Flyeater (Gerygone). The second looks some kind of an immature cuckoo - perhaps a plaintive. Let's wait for the experts on this one.  |

I am fairly sure this is a rare photo of an immature Little/Gould's/? Bronze-cuckoo Chrysococcyx minutillus poecilurus, suggested in a new book to be split as Chrysococcyx poecilurus

I should have written Chrysococcyx minutillus aheneus suggested in a new book to be split as Chrysococcyx poecilurus [presumably ssp aheneus]
