Qutie a magnificent example of[size=4][color=DarkSlateGray] a male.[/color][/size]
Short pale eyebrow barely overhanging the supraorbital ridge, [b][size=4][color=DarkSlateGray]whitish underbody sparsely streaked, thickening towards belly. [b][size=4][color=DarkSlateGray]Upperbody dark brown[/color][/size][/b].[/color][/size][/b][b][size=4][color=DarkSlateGray]Undertail pale but subterminally dark banded [/color][/size][/b]discernible.
Other interesting points are [b][size=4][color=DarkSlateBlue]whitish leading edge of wing[/color][/size][/b], [b][size=4][color=Indigo]blackish underwing coverts and thick trailing edge sandwiched by dark spotted parts[/color][/size][/b]. Also [b][size=4][color=Indigo]brown face and darker-browned crown[/color][/size][/b]. [b][size=4][color=Indigo]Rufous tinged light coloured tarsus.
[/color][/size][/b]Powerful bill parts,strong tarsus,toes and claws all indicating it being a powerful local predator of the air.
Thank you for sharing the photos.
