Identification question

Post by sburke »

Bird seen from about 50 metres at home which I cannot identify. Some help would be appreciated.

Seen about 5.30 pm, top of a bare Cypress Pine, colour similar to female Crested Bellbird (grey/fawn), size between Grey Shrike-thrush and Crested Bellbird, flew off with rapidish wing beats not in a straight line, distinguishing feature as it flew away was a significant white patch at the top of tail.

Any ideas?

Steve, what about a Black-eared Cuckoo? One was photographed at Hirstglen recently.

Cheers
