A Tricky Cuckoo. In the last-but one CBN, in relation to field guide limitations, I mentioned the problem of the young bronze-cuckoos. This one was silent, but does not have a juv gape so it is not all that young. However it is fairly plain on the breast with rudimentary barring. I am no expert but I take it to be a Shining because: 1/ it has quite a bit of colour on the back, 2/ the face looks like a Shining, in particular no eye-stripe, and 3/ no rufous in the tail.
