Sure looks like a yellow-billed cuckoo to me.
Yellow lower mandible, upper mandible black. Dull brown-grey cap with white chin, chest, underside. White tip on posterior tail feathers.
Yellow-billed cuckoo (bill, location) .
Another of my favorites, the sound of summer. rb
I'm probably too late for it to still be a mystery bird, but that is a yellow-billed cuckoo. It's one of the 3 brown "U.S." cuckoos, which rules out black-billed. And mangrove cuckoo is pretty much restricted to Florida in the U.S.
