Not a juvenile Pallid Cuckoo, that part is easy, but picking between the other two is difficult. The 2 photos (incl the one from Geoffrey) don't show enough of the upper side plumage. Brush Cuckoo is more marked than Fantailed.

This young Cuckoo was spotted out side the Bittern hide by a fellow bird watcher this afternoon, I'm undecided wether its a Brush, Fantail or Pallid, I lean towards a juvenile Pallid Cuckoo. Suggestions please.
