LITTLE CUCKOO Coccycua minuta
Like a mini Squirrel Cuckoo, though in fact not as closely-related as once thought. About half the size of that species, it is a secretive inhabitant of bushy and waterside vegetation in the Pantanal region of northern Paraguay. The species has recently been confirmed to occur in Paraguay, after many years of rumoured sightings.
