I saw feathers remained of Greater Coucal on the ground inside a forest path on Po Toi on the same date.

I'm amazed that a Crested Goshawk could catch and kill something the size of a Greater Coucal, but I agree that the foot looks like that's what this was. It seems that the Goshawk got a very good meal, and has picked the bones completely clean!
