As has been suggested, this is indeed a first winter crested goshawk. There is quite a bit of variation between immature individuals of this species and this one is a particularly pale and unmarked individual. Judging from around 30 immature birds admitted to the KFBG rescue centre over the years, around one in 10 are as pale and unmarked as this.
