Coucal Kathmandu Nepal (1 Viewer)

Birder in Kathmandu
Got this Coucal in my garden. Rare in Kathmandu(1350m), only seen once before by me in the valley (2010). Regardless of size, anything in these (not high quality) pictures pointing to either Lesser or Greater?

Yes, I automatically assumed Large, because of size and location (had seen it once before in KTM) but then a friend said why not Lesser? Tend to keep to Large because of size impression, but little doubt remains.

Thanks,
Arend
