The Pheasant Coucal (Centropus phasianinus) is a ground dweller which as adapted in the tropics to cane fields. Normally when you see one they run, rather than fly, into the cover, so seeing this one on a fence on the edge of the cane field is actually a good perch. I think the vines help too... The only nonparasitic Australian cuckoo. This one is in breeding plumage.
