AI is incorrect on this id, it's a juvenile (Sahul) Brush Cuckoo Cacomantis variolosus

Could a moderator please update this ID as it continues to show as Pallid Cuckoo as guessed by CarbonAI, but which it is not. This might be misleading to casual viewers, and I guess is bad training for the AI if not corrected.

moderator will overrule AI when they get to it. AI can be a little frustrating but does serve its purpose. Just needs more practice on less frequent species and obscure plumages like this immature Brush Cuckoo.
Nice sighting.
