Cuckoo... Which One?

which kind of cuckoo? Pallid perhaps?

edited to reflect advice so far.

Not sure but I would say not Starling. Some sort of Cuckoo?

Thanks Rick,

I have never seen this bird before so it had me befuddled.

Do you think it might be the Black-eared Cuckoo?

Juv Fan tailed Cuckoo? It looks really dark and has a really short tail, that's confusing me!

Where did you spot this cuckoo? I would probably also go with a juvenille Fan-Tailed Cuckoo, but I am not to sure.

M.M.

Looks like a juvenile Fan-tailed Cuckoo.

Sorry I should have given location...

Castlereagh NSW about 2kms from Nepean River, perched on young scrubbly gum that grows among the ti-tree
