Observation details

Quite uncommon/rare austral migrant. Though I cannot totally rule out a Yellow-Billed Cuckoo, the date of observation leans towards Pearly-Breasted (it would be VERY early for a YB Cuckoo) and the one photo I took doesn't seem to show any hint of rufous in the wing - both pieces of information strongly suggest Pearly-Breasted.
