I dunno if my ID is correct but here is the shot!

Philippine Hawk-Cuckoo (Cuculus pectoralis)
Canon 50D, EF 400mm f5.6L, Handheld
Shot @ f5.6, 1/400", ISO320

I was supposed to look for the Oriental Cuckoo that has been modeling with fellow birdnuts the past weeks but those were no shows. I got another Cuckoo instead.

This is my 166th lifer. Taken this morning @ UP Diliman with Edwin Matias and supposedly with Jun Osana (but he left earlier). Nice meeting you sir Edwin

The hall mark of a really good bird photographer is PATIENCE! The PATIENCE in NOT publishing low quality bird photos!

Big congrats to you. This species is now considered an endemic. It's split from the Hodgson's and is now called Philippine Hawk-Cuckoo (Cuculus pectoralis)
