Not being pedantic (according to Jay I'm not supposed to understand words like that), would it not be an odd coloured bird of the Turdus merula species.

Yes is was Jaysay . It woke me up one morning last year making a spooky noise . It may have been in distress . I managed to get a few photos , then it disappeared . At first sight I thought it was a vulture .
