Banded Bay Cuckoo

The Banded Bay Cuckoo or Bay-banded Cuckoo is a species of small cuckoo found in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Like others in the genus they have a round nostril. They are usually founded in well wooded areas mainly in the lower hills. Males sing from exposed branches during the breeding season, which can vary with region. They are distinctive both in their calls as well as plumage with a white eye-browed appearance and the rufous upperparts with regular dark bands and the whitish underside with fine striations.

The Banded Bay Cuckoo is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
