Oriental Honey Buzzard, Imperial Eagle, or other???

I had this strange raptor soaring over Hu Poi reservoir today. Thought it was a Honey Buzzard on shape but it seems all dark underneath.  I shot a few shots two stops over exposed to see if I could get any colors on the underside but no it appears all dark.  Any thoughts.  I really don't have a guess about this one.

Thanks Kkoel, I do think it looks like a Greater Spotted Eagle but surprising to see it away from Deep Bay. I wonder are there any records away from deep bay?

True, I suppose there aren't many place to roost in Deep Bay.
