The status of Indian Cuckoo in the Philippines needs clarification. It's currently treated as a winter visitor (micropterus) but that is certainly incorrect as birds are present year-round, and have a very distinct three note song).Do you know if anyone has looked into Indian Cuckoo? The vocalisations are very different between resident Sundaic birds (concretus) and northern migrants (micropterus).
Maybe also Common Cuckoo? The song of bakeri sounds a bit different to me, but I'm not sure how reliable this is.
