That is a nice series of shots...Good Morning David. That is a nice series of shots of the Smooth-billed Ani, a species that to me so resembles a member of the crow family rather than a cuckoo. We rather take for granted a species' place in the tree of life but there is a lot of scientific work behind their classification. Likewise the Great Lizard Cuckoo which reseembles the cuckoo I am familiar with and also your own Black-billed and Yellow-billed Cuckoos. It's interesting as you say, that neither are brood parasites but are still cuckoos.
