I am new. What is my name ?

I took pictures of this bird yesterday in Brisbane, QLD. Do you happen to know my name ?

Well spotted.  The first time I saw this bird was when it ran into a window :(  Since then I see them rarely.

It is a cuckoo, possibly a Horsfield bronze?

Actually I think that is a Shining Bronze Cuckoo, it lacks the white eyebrow Horsfeild's has

A bronze-cuckoo of some sort: definitely not horsfield's. Shining would be most likely, but a young Little and Gould's could be a possibility too.

Thanks Tegan, Soakes and Ryu. Looks like a Shining Bronze Cuckoo. It does neither have white brow like a Horsfield's Bronze Cuckoo nor red eyes like Gould's Bronze or Little Bronze.
