Observation details
****MEGA Many photos. Large and long, narrow-winged Cuculus. Juvenile by barring on neck, but seemed to be obtaining adult plumage due to darker gray breast feathers which contrasted sharply with belly. Gray morph. White tips to upper tail coverts apparently eliminates or does not suggest Oriental Cuckoo. Also, the vent and under-tail coverts were white or very dull buff, not strongly buffy which Oriental often has. Graceful, falcon-like flight, but somewhat floppy on landing. Yellow eye-ring. Yellow legs and feet. Staring yellow iris. Yellow bill with black tip, curved per Cuculus. Barred flight feathers.
