Wow, haven't seen this coloration on a Cuckoo before. Hmmm, I know Steve will ID this one still. :-)

Sayang, I wasn't able to go with you, needed to recharge  first before driving home. ;D Thanks again!! can't remember for what?  anyway thanks!! ;D Looks like a Plantive cuckoo but the eyes and the tail barrings (forming a "V") are different. It might be a transitional phase from immature to adult plumage? Cheers, Neon |

Cheers, Neon Panyero, at least you were able to drive home ;D I really had a kick in a#@s that I decided to stay overnight ;D me and Doc Chito together with our new recruit Raymond drive another 4 km farther down then walk half a mile just to search for the elusive ESB but no luck |

It certainly looks like a cuckoo.... let's hope Steve can nail the ID. Nice capture, Nestor!

Well, looks immature. Will look at this and the Drongo tonight.
Any more photos of this, in particular the tail would be nice?

Sorry Master Steve, the terrain prohibits me from taking other angles (there is a big water canal in between).
