Seems to be a bonelli's eagle to me.

I think the tail shape fits better for Oriental Honey Buzzard

我個人認為 澤鷂 Eastern Marsh Harrier
1.5條明顯初級飛羽突出
2.尾部羽毛較白和斑紋不明顯
3.如果張相係滑翔狀態,這樣隻raptor呈V形翼飛行
(參考香港鳥類圖鑑p.191既第二張圖)
唔認為Honey Buzzard原因....
1.尾的黑白間似HB雌鳥,但斑紋不明顯
2.Honey Buzzard有6條明顯初級飛羽

A very interesting bird and at first glance I would have thought it was a Bonelli's Eagle. However, I looked at a number of photos and it seems both Bonelli's Eagle and Oriental Honey Buzzard have six fingers while this bird has only five. This would fit Eastern Marsh Harrier. So I would guess Eastern Marsh Harrier but I am not sure how to say it isn't a Pied Harrier.
