Is it a Pied Harrier or an Eastern Marsh Harrier? Any opinion on the sex of this bird? Thanks.

This is a difficult one.  I would go for female Eastern Marsh Harrier, at least 2nd year bird.
Similar to the one photo on the following website (photo by John and Jemi).

Thank Fai Gor for the ID and sexing.

Could somebody tell me at what age Harriers would have yellow iris please?
