Hi Joshua

We'd love to help, but we need a bit more information!  Like where do 
you live?  ........ what's the countryside like there?  ..... are you 
in or next to some wet forest?  That kind of thing.  What does the 
bird look like (size, colours)?  What does the call sound like?

It may well be an Olive Whistler, but that depends on a few things.  
Golden and Rufous Whistlers are more common in most of the 
countryside, but that depends entirely on where you live.

Good luck!
