Yes. Or perhaps more correct a juvenile PC. The overall speckled black white & grey is obvious. At a distance the large amount of white speckling on the wing coverts makes it look a bit like a Cockatiel.

This fellow was eating caterpillars in the apple box trees along Kelly Road, Williamsdale, this morning, and was captured by Lach with his camera. Can anyone confirm the identification as an immature Pallid Cuckoo?
