Aussiegall. Would you please look at this image again as I do not think it is chinensis. The head and body are too dark, the tail too long and the eye has a little yellow mark beneath it. There are no spots and the neck is dark with linear markings. I think this is an immature Macropygia phasianella (Brown cuckoo-dove)

Hi BLSHFour, I agree with you that it is a Brown Cuckoo Dove and thats what I originally put in when uploading it and then CarbonAI put in itherwise

CarbonAI isn't trained in the Brown Cuckoo-dove, not enough images yet.
