[BirdPhotoIndia] Grey-Bellied Cuckoo?? ID Please

Hi,

Shot this at CKBS today, in the field we thought it was a Plaintive Cuckoo hepatic female. But now on closer inspection it looks to me like the recently recorded Grey-Bellied variety.

The underparts look more white than rufous to me and also, the barring on the tail looks absent. But then that may be because of interference by the branches in the foreground. Maybe the others have a clearer pic.

Sorry for the poor quality of the image.

Regards,
Avik Chatterjee
