White setae on head, pronotum and pygidium. Some setae at the posterior corners of the pronotum and rounded apices of the elytra with re-entrant angle to distinguish from A. suturalis.

Distinguished from A. montanus by the lack of continuous bands of white setae across the abdominal sternites, the broad and long anal tuft of orange hair, and the more concave sides of the male clypeus.

It's lacking the characteristic colouration of A. concolor on the elytra. Likely A. porosus, but it's better to get a view of the rear showing the dorsal side of the pygidium as well to exclude A. boisduvalii and A. olivieri.

Interesting - I'll look out for them in the bursaria. Are the adult channel-billed cuckoos still around? Because it seems like the fledgling has left, and I'm wondering if the parents have collected it and they're winging their way north . . .
