Could well be a Koel, the posture sure looks like one.

Really? if so, it would be the first koel I've ever seen with my own eyes(or camera!)
Thanks a lot!

Did you hear its call? Its sound can be quite loud and is easy to recognize. May be you can have some web searching on its call and you can confirm it when you hear it next time. =)

There was a small hill previously occupied by Drainage Dept behind Phase III. Loud koel sound - plus other birds - are heard on and off.
Where did you take this photo / look for black kites?
