Mike,

 

Just saw your email about this. I forgot to look up Brush Cuckoo as a possibility. I agree they definitely look more like this species.

These are definitely Brush Cuckoos. Adult female Brush Cuckoos have an uncommon barred morph (as well as the more typical unbarred morph) and I suspect this may be a case of courtship feeding by a male to a barred female Brush Cuckoo.

Julie & I were at Mulligans today and spied these two. Both look like cuckoos but 1 was definitely acting as a parent and feeding the other.  ID help greatly appreciated.
