Carcass of juvenile Greater Coucal?

Found at Chek Lap Kok in November 2012. It was in the vegatation area in between road and the "narrow channel" of the sea.

It's certainly a juvenile coucal (as shown by the barred primaries), but I would say that the pattern and colour of the barring on the body feathers, and the fact there a few pale streaks are visible on the feathers of the upperparts, means that this is (or rather, was) a juvenile Lesser Coucal.
