Centropus sinensis
Also known as Crow Pheasant, It is a large non-parasitic member of the cuckoo order of birds, the Cuculiformes. They are large, crow-like with a long tail and coppery brown wings. They are weak fliers, and are often seen clambering about in vegetation or walking on the ground as they forage for insects, eggs and nestlings of other birds. They have a familiar deep resonant call which is associated with omens in many parts of its range. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Cou...)
A widespread resident in Asia, from India, east to south China and Indonesia, they are found in wide range of habitats from jungle to cultivation and urban gardens.
