User's notes
I think it is a sub-adult male Koel due to the eye colour and plumage pattern. I have seen them described as Asian Koels, Eastern Koels, Pacific Koels but which variety this one might be is beyond my knowledge. It was eating Blackberries in the vicinity of the horse corrals of the Territory Agistment paddocks 'Illoura' behind Curtin.

I think all those common names are interchangeable for the species 𝘌𝘶𝘥𝘺𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘺𝘴 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴
