A grey-plumaged cuckoo with barred underparts, a non-breeding visitor to Bornean forest and forest edge after breeding across South and East Asia.
A brood parasite of drongos and other passerines, it is named for its distinctive four-note call, often rendered as 'one more bottle', given persistently through the night.
