Is this the same bird?????
If so then it's a juvie Koel (I think)

Reckon it's a female Common Koel. Some that get woken by these before sunrise wish they weren't common.:)
CAP's photo shows the colour of the "juvie."

Yep, spot on Mark

A female Common Koel.

They arrived here last week, and have certainly made their presence felt (heard), particularly in the wee small hours.
