Yellow Billed or Black Billed Cuckoo in North Central Texas? (1 Viewer)

I saw this bird early this morning and again this afternoon in the trees around my yard. Based on my field guide, I feel fairly certain it's a Yellow Billed Cuckoo or possibly a Black Billed Cuckoo which are both found in this part of the country, but thought I'd see what everyone else thinks.

Hi Scrodog,
Based on the bill colour, eye ring, and under-tail pattern I would go with Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Nice photos!

Cheers,
Benji
