CB cuckoo or juvenile Koel?

These are not good photos, i know, but i am wondering if this is  a juvenile Channel Billed Cuckoo, it was hooting incessantly like  begging.  It had a lot of while underneath, which is not shown here.  At suburban park in innerwest Sydney

Honestly looks like a Pied Currawong to me Elizabeth. Beak shape and size and you can also see the white in the wings and tail tips.
