Hi,

I think it is a juvenile lesser coucal. Please check the field guide.

Dear John,

I'm not sure because I found it in a stream course. It was climbing away from the water and it's as large as a little dog, >40cm.

Hi Lynx

Nice photo.

I agree with John.

Look at the short bill and long black tail.

Many birds can be found close to streams because them come to drink water there.

Cheers
Mike
