Dromococcyx is a genus of uncommon to rare cuckoos found in forests and woodlands of the Neotropics. While rarely seen, both species are very vocal.[2] They have strikingly graduated tails, and are among the few cuckoos of the Americas that are brood parasites (the only other is the striped cuckoo).
