Dr. Gautam Joglekar     wrote, @10-06-2007 18:02:19 Well, I checked out Grimmett & Inskipp. It's some Hawk Cuckoo for sure, but really unsure about the exact species.

Dipu K     wrote, @10-06-2007 22:59:40 I would second yathin's Q. Looks like a cuckoo species rather than a hawk-cuckoo...

Dr. Gautam Joglekar     wrote, @10-06-2007 23:05:48 So which one is it? What do you think? Could it be the Lesser Cuckoo??

Dipu K     wrote, @11-06-2007 11:38:54 How big/small it was? Indian Cuckoo is one possibility... Lesser is relatively smaller than Indian Cuckoo.

Dr. Gautam Joglekar     wrote, @11-06-2007 13:25:38 It was approx. as big as an adult Koel.
