Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Doug Harebottle
Comment:   I would like some other comments from the panel but this looks like an African Cuckoo - undertail looks barred and not spotted. Difficult to make out bill colour

Comment:   African Cuckoo - agree with Doug, undertail barred not spotted. Bill colour can be variable and so not definitive.
