Help with ID please?!

Hi please could someone help me identify this poor bird which flew into our window this morning.

We live on a cattle property in Central QLD.  It has a distinctive yellow ring around the eye as you can see.

Thanks! Victoria

Central Queensland, eh? If you're feeling enthusiastic more photos & comments on bird life & habitats from your neck of the woods or open plains would be most welcome, vpcm.

I also agree that your photo is of a Fan-tailed Cuckoo.
