One more - Cuckoo? Shrike-thrush?

Can anyone pick this guy?
It had a nice song and sounded more like a shrike-thrush (Grey or Little), but looks in this pic more like a cuckoo to me, especially by the eye.

Any ideas?

Awesome, Peter, thanks.

I think you're spot on with that, and the sound files I found seem pretty close to what I remember hearing.

That makes another new one for me.

Cheers
