Brush Cuckoo also has a rare barred morph. If I recall correctly it has only been recorded in females. Another possibility for this bird.

I would agree with that. A view of upperparts is the better to tell apart from juv Fantailed Cuckoo. The tail shape & strong markings fits juvenile Brush Cuckoo better than juv Fantailed Cuckoo. I wonder if that is a this spring young already.

I saw this Cuckoo this evening at Farrer Ridge. I think it's a juvenile Brush Cuckoo?
