Certainly a Koel. I would have expected an adult female but the brown, rather than black top of head suggests a juvenile. I wonder if that is a very early one.

Hi All,
Could someone please ID the attached bird please. Sorry bird IDs are not my strong point at the moment - still learning. It flew into our backyard in Gordon this morning and stayed for some time. Not able to get any good photos as it was
blocked by the vegetation.
Thanks in advance and Merry Xmas
Cheers Tony
