thanks Nathan

I will now wait for a Cuckoo expert to help further

edit:

Horsfield's Bronze Cuckoo, juvenile

Nathan suggested young cuckoo

a black eye line is apparent from behind the beak to back of head

in my pics I can see a little bit of rufous in the tail and more green or bronze in lower tail base and on the wings

Hi Peter
Horsefield's Bronze is my choice , unbarred, uniformly grey throat , remaining underparts dull white.
Does that make me a cuckooooo or what?

See it! Hear it!

I have met you so will withhold a response on the basis that I might return to Port Macquarie some time
