| Bird Family : | Cuculidae - Old World Cuckoos, Koels & Malkohas |
| Bird Group : | CUCULIFORMES |
| Red Data Status : | Least Concern |
| Remarks : | This is an old photo which I had identified as Eurasian Cuckoo (juvenile) but
I am not sure any more. The cause of the confusion is the barring on on the
rump. Is this an indicative of the Oriental Cuckoo Cuculus saturatus? What of the white
nuchal patch? - YIH
The white tipping on the lower back, rump & uppertail
coverts is NOT found in Oriental (Himalayan) Cuckoo. - Eds.
