Matthew
These photos give me a sense that this is a Bonelli's Eagle ( juv ) but not Common Buzard.

more suggestions are welcome

I am just an inexperienced birder/ birdwatcher/ twitcher/ photographer with no long lens.

I think you are right actually, the bill structure is probably too big for a buzzard...sorry!!

Never mind XD

In fact , I have no evidence to prove that this is a Bonelli's Eagle

Just Feelings ONLY

Thank Matthew and Fai. Considering the upper surfaces of the bird, could it be an imperial eagle.

Definitely Bonelli's. The wing shape of the two are very different.
