It could also be a juvenile Fan-tailed Cuckoo? The Brush Cuckoo has a more square tail. I can also see some notches on the tail and the yellow eyering.?

(could be wrong thoughcrying)

I may be wrong, I know or have known many 'cuckoo' people but have not seen many Cuckoos

Hey M-L, Fantail Cuckoos are not found in the top end, so unless it has moved along way from it's usual territory, won't be a Fantailed.
