This is the female Asian koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus), a member of the cuckoo order of birds, the Cuculiformes. The Asian koel like many of its related cuckoo kin is a brood parasite that lays its eggs in the nests of crows and other hosts, who raise its young. The female has a brownish crown and has rufous streaks on the head. The back, rump and wing coverts are dark brown with white and buff spots. The underparts are whitish, but is heavily striped. Saw this bird perched on the tree branch for a moment and it flew off within minutes, not before I had taken some pictures of it.
