Seems HBW uses long-tailed koel: FunkMonk (talk) 03:07, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

It's a NZ breeding bird, and all the NZ sources I checked use long-tailed cuckoo: Checklist of the Birds of NZ, Field Guide to the Birds of NZ, and Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic birds: Volume 4 (see relevant sections at NZ Birds Online). Wikipedia generally uses the IOC name, which is Pacific long-tailed cuckoo, because it's now in Urodynamis, not the koel genus Eudynamys. "Cuckoo" seems to be the most common usage, HBW and IUCN common names look to be out of date. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 07:51, 10 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
