Roger - it's clearly a youngish Horsfield's
Bronze-Cuckoo, the most diagnostic feature that you show very clearly is the
rufous in the tail (an old name for this species). Around the eye is also
quite diagnostic, there is a dark line through it, with a whitish stripe under,
which is not present in the Shining.
It's not such a young bird as these often can have
no signs of barring on the breast at all when immature.
