Going through my 2016 records for submission to Carrie Ma, I came across this photo which I was never able to fully ID. Seen end-August, but I can't remember where (as the wife deleted all my other pics, Grrrr). Please help. http://www.hkbws.org.hk/BBS/post ... ge%3D1#insertAttach

Thanks for your replies Gentlemen. I guess I'll just have to choose one of those options until the next opportunity comes along to see one more clearly.

Indian Cuckoo should have broader dark bars on the underparts and a broad dark band near the tip of the tail, suggesting that this is an Oriental Cuckoo.

Great, thanks John.
