Saw this bird this morning...about 70m away and behind some thick tree trunks. Not quite like the Greater Coucal but is it the Lesser Coucal or a juvenile Greater? Please help identify.

Pictured 23 October 2008 in Discovery Bay, Lantau.

It's a juvenile Greater - coincidentally cross-posted as I was commenting on another bird!

Thank you very much Ajohn for your information!

The Lesser Coucal does look markedly different from the Greater on those photos. Problem is they looks much more similar on the book!
