I raise this question with great trepidation, but in updating some of my records I find that at various times I have called a melodious bird both "Common Koel" and "Eastern Koel". BirdLife Australia seem to favour Eastern Koel for birdata. On eBird it is called "Australian Koel". I realise that there is no 'best' or 'correct' name. As I don't have access to Ornithological libraries I wonder if someone on this list can tell me the provenance of these various names so that I can decide which way to update my records. Default option will be some coin tossing between Eastern Koel and Australian Koel..
