Little Cuckoo (Coccycua minuta)
Best viewed large.
I recently returned from 16 days in Ecuador with Tropical Birding on their Ecuador Photo Tour.

We spent 5 days at Sani Lodge on a small lake close to the Napo River, a tributary of the Amazon. The Sani people were amazing, extremely hospitable, very skilled paddlers and wonderful birders.
This cuckoo was photographed at Sani Lodge.
Although widespread in both Amazonia and chocó forest, Little Cuckoo is fairly uncommon and often difficult to see. They inhabit the thick lower growth of woodlands and forest edges, frequently occurring near water.
Coccycua is a small genus of birds in the cuckoo family, Cuculidae. Its three species (Little, Dwarf and Ash-colored) are found in the tropical Americas.
