  1. Wrong name. This is a femal Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus).

  2. Not agree with you, its Long-tailed Cuckoo (Eudynamys taitensis), common bird in South Asia.

  3. This is not a cuckoo, it's indeed a female pheasant!

    And Eudynamis taitensis can't be common in South Asia, because it is endemic to New Zealand and migrates to Australasia in winter.
