I'm sure it's an Immature Cuckoo, but of what species? It's around 6 Inches long from tail to head, and I'm leaning towards "Oriental" due to it's bare breast area with no streaks. It could also be a Little Bronze Cuckoo. Anyway, here it is:  Immature Oriental Cuckoo by Grandpa@50, on Flickr Another shot:  Immature Oriental Cuckoo2 by Grandpa@50, on Flickr One more:  Immature Little Bronze Cuckoo3 by Grandpa@50, on Flickr All shot with the 7D2 and the Canon EF-400mm L lens, handheld (no flash). Anyone care to verify or give a definite ID on this one? Thanks for looking! |

Bobby,
It looks like an immature Little Bronze.

Wow.... whatever it is, the details captured certainly are of great contribution to local avian knowledge. Great camera work, Bobby!

Bobby, It looks like an immature Little Bronze. I am inclined to agree with you, Tonji. The first photo does seem to show the early signs of the streaks consistent with a Little Bronze. Thank you! |

I agree with Tonji. Note the short tail. Also the Kennedy guide lists LBC as 15cm (6") but Oriental at 30cm (12"). That is a very very big difference :-)
