Himalayan Cuckoo

Himalayan Cuckoo(Cuculus saturatus)
Visually indistinguishable from Oriental Cuckoo. Adult male is gray above with a black-and-white-barred belly and a dark gray tail; females usually look similar, but some (known as hepatic morph birds) have cinnamon-brown upperparts with black barring throughout. Intermediate in size between Common and Lesser Cuckoos; distinguished from both species by buffy (not white) under-tail feathers and from Lesser Cuckoos by yellow iris. Song is a series of five notes, with the leading note being sharper and more distinct than the four that follow; compare with Oriental Cuckoo’s series of mellow paired notes. Breeds in a wide range of different lowland and hill forests; also more open habitats outside of breeding season.

Sounds a bit like a hybrid, because the first "call" is a bit higher pitched than the following two. Actually all syllables are supposed to be on same level.

[@rozandhungel9034]

Oh, didn't know about it, maybe hybrid could be possible 🤔
Need more research about this species
Thank you for your support 🙏🏽 💞
