Hard to spot and easier to hear, the Shining Bronze Cuckoo has metallic coppery green upperparts and white cheeks and underparts strongly barred with dark green from tail-tip to throat. The female is similar with a more purplish sheen to the crown and nape and bronzer-tinged barring on the belly. The bill is black and the feet are black with yellow undersides. Distinctive call.
