I have a 20 second audio file of it, but I can't get it to upload on here so you all can hear it and tell me what it is. It's in either an .mp4 or .m4a format. Help

It's probably an Asian Koel

Only if they make different sounds at different times of the day

OK, turn it up to hear it - sounds like he's saying 'Woo-hoo!'

Slinky, Sounds like a dove of some sort to me perhaps a Spotted Dove. Try the call they have on this web site.

That's a Koel, Canuck, mine sounds more like the link Sluggo posted. I was thinking it sounded like some kind of dove. To hear it, you need to turn your sound all the way up. He wasn't very close by, so I couldn't get a loud recording.

pigeon: any one of a group of birds with a plump body, short tail and short legs...There are numerous species, making up a family of birds. The smaller kinds are usually called doves.

dove: a bird with a thick body, short legs, and a beak enlarged at the tip. It is a small kind of pigeon that is not domesticated

I was hoping for something a little more exotic than a pigeon

I think we'll keep calling it the 'woo-hoo' bird and the koels are the 'for real' birds

Thanks for the info everyone!

It's a lesser spotted, Greater harmed, thrush eagle.

Sluggo"s got it - it's a spotted dove. I finally saw one today - up until now I've only heard them.
