pair of oriental cuckoos

Observed from a distance flying from ground up to a branch and back again in the upper Blue Mountains. Very shy.

This is the only picture and the female looks quite  Bassian thrush like.

Thoughts?

I would suggest that you have photographed a Bassian Thrush and a Satin Bowerbird
