I say it is a juvenile Brush Cuckoo. The juvenile Pallid Cuckoo is mainly blackish, whitish & grey. They have a basic colour scheme like if you imagine a very speckled Cockatiel. That it is so speckled on the back (and wing coverts & secondaries doesn’t fit a juvenile Fantailed Cuckoo.

Hi All,

Jill and I saw this cuckoo at Mulligan's Flat today, seemingly in the company of a pair of leaden flycatchers. Our view was obscured and then also from quite a distance.

Our best attempt at an ID is a juvenile pallid cuckoo, but advice from others would be appreciated.

Cheers

Julie
