Hi Almich43
Thats a immature female Common Koel (brown not red eye tells us it's an immature bird)It appears to be an intermediate coloured bird between the light and dark forms but with a bit more age it may prove to be the dark form.
To get the full picture to show here you need to resize on photobucket or upload a picture around 500 pix wide.

Hi again Ed, so this is a Koel no a Cuckoo? We have seen quite a few Koel's in the past couple of years, only the Black ones. Very noisy too!!
Bye for now

Koels are type of cuckoo, Black bird is the male.Yes very noisy. We have had up to 4 pairs playing tag around the trees in our backyard. Not this year, seems to be fewer about in Townsville.
