I presume you meant uppertail pattern Andy so yes, clearly a Hawk-cuckoo spp. IMO, but which one? I was rather hedging my bets in plumping for Large solely based on structure-combination of elongated shape and long tail. Malaysian, Hodgson's and Large are all presumably possibilities, but the narrower penultimate dark bar would seem to rule out Malaysian. Perhaps I could have been a tad more cautious and said probable Large HC for the reasons stated.

No, I did mean undertail, because for some reason I thought the bird was facing us! Looking more carefully, it's clearly on the near side of the branch and has its back to us. It does look large and small-headed, so you're almost certainly right with LHC.
