FAN-TAILED CUCKOO Cacomantis flabelliformis
Spring is the time to catch sight of cuckoos and this one is a Fan-tailed Cuckoo.
It is quite similar to a Brush Cuckoo but the difference can be seen in the broader white barring on the underside of the tail with white spots on the upper parts of the tail.
The Fan-tail also has a vivid yellow eyering.
This bird is a female. The male is more highly coloured on from the chin to the belly. The female's belly is more rufous in clouring.
