not sure what this guy is can any one help identify
Brown Goshawk nesting. Not the best shots but it's a tricky spot to photograph from.

Nice shots Jacko! Love the Goshawk. :)
Your little guy looks like a cuckoo, most likely Shining Bronze Cuckoo. I can't see the line through the eye which would indicate to me a Horsefield's Bronze Cuckoo. I have only seen/heard the former in the Sydney west area all spring/summer so far and none of the Horsefield's yet; they could be missing our region for some odd reason this year. Did you hear the cuckoo call? That would also be a clue to which species....
Where are your images from?
Thanks for the reply. I just had a look at the Shining Bronze Cuckoo and they do look similar wish I had a shot from the front of the bird. Didn’t get hear the call, it flew in and sat on the branch for about 20 seconds then it was gone. All the photos are taken from the Milton rainforest on the South Coast.
Love your Goshawk Jacko... great catch
