Thick-billed Cuckoo

Pachycoccyx audeberti (Schlegel, H 1879)

The thick-billed cuckoo is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It is monotypic within the genus Pachycoccyx. It can easily be distinguished from other brood parasitic cuckoo species by its very thick bill, which is shaped in a rather hawk-like fashion. Source: Wikipedia
