I agree with John. It is clearly a cuckoo (not any passerine), as shown by the zygodactylous (2 toes forward) foot. Also the long barred tail suggests cuckoo. I also agree a juvenile either Fan-tailed or Brush cuckoo. Not much difference in the front plumage (or enough to be sure from the photo) but on the upper surface (back) the Brush is much more speckled brown than the Fan-tailed Cuckoo. So a back photo should settle the ID.

Looks like a juvenile cuckoo. Either Fan-tailed or Brush. Hard to tell from the photo, but more likely the latter?
