Two different birds

Is a Brahminy slightly similar in looking to a pheasant??

:-
Brahminy Kite adult is bright rufous with a white head.  Young birds are brown and rather nondescript.  Usually seen in flight (or perched in a tree).
Greater Coucal (used to be called Crow-Pheasant) has chestnut wings, but the head is black like a crow, hence the old name.  Often feeds on the ground, and flies up into trees.

I am sure Alan will produce photos off the internet (beyond my computer skills).

Thanks...its obviously Greater Coucal that seem to be in abundance around here

Thanks Isanbirder Black Kite it is ~~~ my book of Thai birds is not very complete as this kite does not feature!

Re Coucal , I regularly have one attacking its refection in the glass door on the terrace.
