Marg,
 
I was surprised at what you wrote so I looked at the book. Actually the description of a juvenile pallid in the Readers Digest book says DARK brown and white (at least my copy says that). Maybe it is not quite black but it is close enough to it. As a field characteristic it is that it impresses as a almost balck and white bird that sets it apart from others. Anyone want to take any bets on it NOT being a pallid cuckoo. Only joking!
