Although the mystery is solved, just want to add that we call them Leatherheads around here.

Bifcus is the shortened name birders give the Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike although I generally say Bufcus (just pronunciation).
Leatherheads aren't Bifcus, they're Friarbirds.

If according to E orix it's a NZ 'thing' . .

The correct pronunciation should be . . 'bufcuz'

Henry??? . .



And, yes 'Leatherheads' are Friar Birds . . and, noisy ones at that

No Cuckoo-shrikes in NZ
