Of course, it's a Shining Bronze-Cuckoo!

It’s silly really, because I know both birds well, and the head is clearly 
wrong for Horsfields, but getting so close I got swept away by the amount of 
brown in the tail, and changed my mind! Then again, in a photo from another 
angle that same brown is green!

Oh yes, and add that we’ve been hearing and seeing Horsfields calling all day 
every day over the last few weeks! So the brain plays some strange trick and 
just stops working!

Certainly not a function of age (mine that is), I can still spell allzimerr, 
alltsiem, - forget it!
