Can't help with the ID I'm afraid. I've posted a link in the ID forum so hopefully someone may know what it is.

Several replies in the ID forum - http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?p=1171460#post1171460 - concur on Cuban Lizard Cuckoo aka Great Lizard Cuckoo - Saurothera merlini.

I've amended the title and name for you - it's a new species to the databases as well :t:

Thanks for all your help.I chased him through the woods knowing it was something that I had never seen before.Wish I had a clearer shot.I have it in its original format but it kept telling me my file was to big so I made it smaller.
