Is this a fan-tailed cuckoo ?

I got this bird in pictures at Brisbane, QLD this morning. Is it a fan-tailed cuckoo from markings under tail and brown breast?

Yes it's a Fan-tailed cuckoo. Listen out for their distinctive calls, it becomes really easy to ID these guys by their call. They are often well hidden and shy (in my local area anyway) and its not often easy to get a clear view like you have in this case.
