buff-headed coucal Centropus milo

A large, long-tailed, thick-billed, uniquely patterned bird with dark blue wings, tail, and belly and creamy neck, chest, and head. Found in most habitats, most commonly in lowland forests. Often flushed from trackside vegetation. Otherwise inconspicuous, but regularly feeds on the ground. Unique within its range. Pairs give a back-and-forth “snoring” duet, ”urrrrh-uh,” but individuals give a range of barking and coughing noises.
