Cuculus poliocephalus
Peter and Michelle,
Seems to match the one illustrated in my "Birds of East Asia", but I find cuckoos difficult when they're not calling.
Good find, good photos, good bird !

Nice find!
I saw a grey cuckoo near the education center also on Sunday but not well enough identify. Likely the same bird.
