I didn't see or don't recall.  However, all passerines(songbirds) hop and
all non-passerines walk.  I am sure someone will correct me if I am
wrong(which I am certainly entertaining as a possibility)  I am also
assuming Horsefield's Bronze-cuckoo is a passerine.   Where is Peter
Slater's field guide when you need one!
