Never had a photo of this bird preaching on the tree. Every time i’m passing by around 6:00AM to 6:45AM near Camilla Homes going to Palinpinon, Valencia, I never miss this bird flying towards southeast. I suspect this is a Large Hawk-Cuckoo. What do you think?

Surprisingly one of our colleagues in Valencia Production spotted this species in the dark area along the road in Brg. Bediao, Dauin going to Lake Yagumyum, Mt. Talinis.
